JR & JOSE PARLA IN HAVANA
Have you seen the work Artists JR & Jose Parla are doing in accordance with the Havanna Biennial? French artist JR and American-Cuban painter Jose Parla’s collaboration are mixing JR’s candid photos with Parla’s paintings. The theme of this year’s biennial is ‘Artistic Practices and Social Imaginaries’ – JR and Jose along with other guest artists in Havana are giving life to the notions of public space and community interactions as a continuation of JR’s “Wrinkles in the City” project.
Ah…they’re just beautiful aren’t they?
