JR + José Parlá – The Wrinkles of the City, Havana, Cuba @ the Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery – Thru July 12
The Wrinkles of the City, Havana Cuba, is a collaborative project by New York based artist José Parlá & French artist JR. Last year, JR and Parlá, who is of Cuban descent, interviewed senior citizens about their experience living through the Cuban revolution. Dozens of portraits of their interviewees were transferred on the walls of city buildings.
The Wrinkles of the City combines Parlá’s style of fusing images with palimpsestic, calligraphic writings as well as JR’s vibrant, colossal murals. The exhibition opens on May 7 at the Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery in Chelsea.
