JR, 'Unframed' @ Images 2010, Switzerland

unurth | street art — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 09:09:34 PDT

JR made a name for himself taking photos and pasting them on buildings around the world. His work usually provides an insight, reflection or celebration of the local community. JR's latest project, 'Unframed', is a new direction: he's using source images from other photographers and pasting them out of context. In the process he's mixing cultures, re-creating historic scenes and creating fascinating contrasts. I love it, and I'm excited to see where this goes. Source image: Man Ray Source image: Robert Capa On the old prison; source image: Helen Levitt Source image: Sebastião Salgado, Guatemala, 1978 On the old Ateliers mécaniques/ mechanical workshops; source image: John Philips, 'Corpus Christi workshops' These are all in Vevey, Switzerland, as part of the Images Festival, using images from Musée de l'Elysée.

Steve Powers, Love Letter, Syracuse

unurth | street art — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 14:22:46 PDT

Building on his Love Letter project in Philadelphia, Steve Powers and his crew moved on to Syracuse to transform what has been a colossal barrier between two disparate neighborhoods into a point of interest, a gathering spot, and a conversation. Powers’ hand-painted signs draw on years of his own work as a painter and graffiti artist, but also on a long tradition of making, advertising, and handcrafting. Coming to Syracuse, a city that exemplifies the model mid-size, post-industrial rustbelt city under reinvention, is part of a national movement of change, a Rustbelt Renaissance, driven by a creative economy. “The goal of the project is to ultimately bridge the Near Westside community to downtown, which will give access to new markets and resources for residents in the neighborhood,” says Maarten Jacobs, director of the Near Westside Initiative.
