JR talks about his approach to art in this terrific short film for Nowness directed by Matt Black.
For collectors: There’s a fairly rare print by JR up for auction right now at Paddle 8

By now you’ve probably heard about Printed Matter’s first annual LA ART BOOK FAIR happening this weekend (opening tonight!) at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. It’s cool, it’ll be fun. If you’re in that warm area of the US, you should go.
Below you’ll find a couple highlights of the things you might see or buy.
The Verlaines, Pyromaniac

“Photography” curated by Ken Miller
Martin Parr, Nan Goldin, Ryan McGinley, Stephen Shore, Terry Richardson, William Eggleston
January 31 – February 9th
Aperture Foundation
Zhigge, Rakin´ In The Dough, 1992
WHATEVEREST, directed by Kristoffer Borgli
“a documentary about the unlikely inspiration behind a dance tune produced by Todd Terje called “Inspector Norse”. “Inspector Norse” is the internet alias of Marius Solem Johansen, a failed musician living in a small town, producing dance videos and drug recipes for YouTube.”

A regular color negative film that produces infrared results.
The Baltimore Black Birds for the win.
This is your last weekend to check out The RAMM:ΣLL:ZΣΣ Galaxseum at The Children’s Museum of the Arts, and while the Letter Racers have already been taken down it’s still worth a visit.
