Artwork for JR

JR

Art Series 2014

New York City Ballet was proud to collaborate with the French artist known as JR for the second annual Art Series in 2014.

JR shared his Art Series installation — a massive trompe l'oeil rendering of an eye created with life-size photos of NYCB dancers on the floor of the Promenade and a large wheatpaste photo on the front windows of the David H Koch Theater.

NYCB Art Series Presents: JR

The Paris-based artist known as JR brings a bit of his world — the creation of large-scale portrait photographs as public art — to New York City Ballet for the second presentation of Art Series, which welcomes emerging contemporary artists to our Lincoln Center home.

Exhibiting freely in the streets of the world, JR catches the attention of people who are not typical museum visitors. His largest project to date, INSIDE OUT, was born in 2011 when JR won the TED prize and called for the creation of a global art project with the potential to change the world. Transforming messages of personal identity into public works of art, more than 172,000 people have taken part in nearly 8,600 locations around the world.
