World renowned artist, TED Prize winner, Oscar nominee, and one of
Time’s 100 most influential people of 2018, JR is a contemporary art
superstar.
In 2018, JR brought his mobile photo studio to New York City. Over one
thousand New Yorkers posed for the camera and told their stories, and
JR compiled their portraits into an astounding photographic mural―a
portrait of the city―for the Brooklyn Museum.
JR: The Chronicles of New York City features both the final mural and
every individual photo, as well as a selection of compelling stories
and a behind-the-scenes look at how this incredible work was made.
- The Chronicles series aims to capture the essence of iconic
cities in words and images
- Includes a removable poster that showcases the entire mural
- Features a foreword by Darren Walker and an artist’s statement
The groundbreaking artist first began his Chronicles series in a suburb
of his native Paris and expanded upon the project in San Francisco and
New York.
For JR’s legions of fans and anyone who loves or lives in New York,
this book reveals art and urban community from a new angle.
- A perfect gift for fans of JR, anyone who loves New York City,
photographers both established and aspiring, as well as lovers of
contemporary art, black-and-white photography, and site-specific art
projects
- Beautiful on the coffee table or in a photo book collection

New York by Serge Ramelli, and Banksy: You Are an Acceptable Level of
Threat and If You Were Not You Would Know About It by Patrick Potter

Examining the dynamics between subject, photographer and viewer,
Fashioning Brazil analyses how Brazilians have appropriated and
reinterpreted clothing influences from local and global cultures.
Exploring the various ways in which Brazil has been fashioned by
the pioneering scientific and educational magazine, National
Geographic, the book encourages us to look beyond simplistic
representations of exotic difference. Instead, it brings to light
an extensive history of self-fashioning within Brazil, which has
emerged through cross-cultural contact, slavery, and immigration.
Providing an in-depth examination of Brazilian dress and fashion
practices as represented by the quasi-ethnographic gaze of National
Geographic and National Geographic Brazil (the Portuguese language
edition of the magazine, established in 2000), the book unpacks a
series of case studies. Taking us from body paint to Lycra, via
loincloths and bikinis, Kutesko frames her analysis within the
historical, cultural, and political context of Latin American
interactions with the United States. Exploring how dress can be
used to manipulate identity and disrupt expectations, Fashioning
Brazil examines readers' sensory engagements with an iconic
magazine, and sheds new light on key debates concerning global
dress and fashion.
