CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 2011 TED PRIZE WINNER: JR

We saw JR's work on the Quai d'Anjou in Paris, & another exhibiton & installation in Paris last year.  I have been a fan of his for some years. 
"JR exhibits his photographs in the biggest art gallery on the planet. His work is presented freely in the streets of the world, catching the attention of people who are not museum visitors. His work mixes Art and Action; it talks about commitment, freedom, identity and limit."
