JR and Jos Parls street celebration of Cubas elders Since 2004, the French artist JR has traveled the world flyposting colossal blackandwhite portraits of ordinary citizens on the walls of city buildings. His most recent project, The Wrinkles of the City, began in Cartagena, Spain, where he photographed the citys oldest inhabitants, imagining their wrinkles as metaphors of urban texture and history. He has subsequently reprised the project in Shanghai, China and Los Angeles. In May 2012, JR collaborates with American artist Jos Parl on the latest iteration of The Wrinkles of the City: a huge mural installation in Havana, undertaken for the Havana Biennale, for which JR and Parl photographed and recorded 25 senior citizens who had lived through the Cuban revolution, creating portraits which Parl, who is of Cuban descent, interlaced with palimpsestic calligraphic writings and paintings. Parls markings echo the distressed surfaces of the walls he inscribes, and offer commentary on the lives of Cubas elders; together, JR and Parls murals marvelously animate a city whose walls are otherwise adorned only by images of its leaders. This volume features the portraits, short biographies of their subjects and photographs of their mural collaborations painted around Havana. A film documenting the project appears in 2013.Based in Paris, JR exhibits freely in public sites in the cities around world. His projects include Portraits of a Generation (20042006), Face2Face (2007) and Women Are Heroes (2008). In 2011 he was awarded the TED Prize.Jos Parl studied painting at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia, and the New World School of the arts in Miami, and lives and works in Brooklyn, new York. a recent project is a special commission for the Brooklyn Academy of Music. His most recent monograph is Walls, Diaries and Paintings (Hatje Cantz, 2011).
