TED Prize winner JR rolled into New York this weekend for the\u00a0premiere of his documentary,\u00a0INSIDE OUT: The People\u2019s Art Project<\/i><\/a>,\u00a0<\/i>at the Tribeca Film Festival. But that was far from the renegade artist’s only stop.<\/p>\n

\"JR'sJR's TED Prize wish: Use art to turn the world inside out<\/span><\/a>With a photobooth truck in tow, he performed actions in Red Hook and the Rockaways, two areas hit hard by Hurricane Sandy<\/a> in the fall. Now, JR is\u00a0parking the truck in Times Square for a full two weeks, through May 10. Oh, and did I mention that he\u2019s also taking over the Instagram account @newyorkermag<\/a> for seven days to post some of the best images he captures through it all?<\/p>\n

This has been an exceptionally busy time for JR. In addition to the documentary and New York actions, JR also recently released the digital book, The Wrinkles of the City, Los Angeles<\/a><\/i>\u00a0– an ode to the inhabitants of the city who\u2019ve lived there for decades, through myriad cultural changes. Right before heading to New York, JR stopped in Berlin, where he and his crew similarly pasted 15 walls with images of older Berliners. At the same time, JR also released an app<\/a>\u00a0which allows fans to browse Inside Out<\/a> projects across the world through a beautiful map.<\/p>\n

See images of all of the above in this gallery.<\/p>\n

Are you or someone you know interested in launching a worldwide project on the scale of Inside Out? Nominations for the 2014 TED Prize are open, from now until June 1 \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n

TED’s own Anna Verghese was on hand and said of the premiere, “Alastair Siddon’s film is a glowing testament to the passion and commitment of the hundreds of thousands of people JR’s wish has inspired worldwide.” Photo: Instagram.com\/jr\/<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
