What We’re Watching: JR’s TED Prize wish: Use art to turn the world inside out

June 27, 2011 2:13 pm by: Rebecca McInroy

I would like to bring art to improbable places, create projects so huge with the community that they are forced to ask themselves questions.” Said JR, the French street artist who received this year’s TED Prize and 100,000 dollars to make his wish, to bring art to unexpected public spaces in order to spark discussion about social issues, come true.

I wish for you to stand up for what you care about by participating in a global art project, and together we’ll turn the world…INSIDE OUT,” JR said.

After watching his TED talk and seeing the images of his work we are convinced that he will be successful. JR continues to inspire the work we do at Storyboard and we hope you enjoy this TED Talk that highlights his vision.
