JR_Art

Another inspiration.. 

I began following JR through instagram.. I hadn't really seen his work around, but since he is always updating his photos, I got a sense of his life, his studio, and his art. A few days ago, I finally put "a name to an art".. Crossing the Williamsburg Bridge (Brooklyn, NY), I finally saw one of his recent "eyes".. 

It struck me! So I finally went online and researched a bit about him.. 

In this video, he tells us a bit about his story, which I found to be fascinating. I would love to glue my art around the city, and be able to pass my message around and inspire people like he is doing.

The Ninth Floor by Jessica Dimmock

The most beautiful piece of work!

In an apartment above Fifth Avenue, some thirty young people live in a vortex of drug addiction and despair. In The Ninth Floor, Jessica Dimmock enters this world, exploring, in human terms, what has been lost and what may be recovered. See the project at http://mediastorm.com/publication/the-ninth-floor

"When it come to art, the Brazilians know what they like..."

Amazing article by the The Independent from the UK. 

"When it comes to art, the Brazilians know what they like... Lots of it"

Paraísos Artificiais de Marcos Prado

In the Northeast of Brazil, during an art and music festival, 3 people come together. From the director of "Estamira", Marcos Prado, and the producers of "Trope de Elite I & II". 

I can't wait to see it. April 27th it will open in all theaters in Brazil. 

Artificial Paradises (?)

It was shot during 7 weeks in Recife, Rio de Janeiro and Amsterdam. 

I found a making-off, but in portuguese.
