TED Talks: JR – One Year of Turning the World Inside Out

Following his 2011 TED Prize wish to “show the world its true face,” street artist JR takes the stage to highlight how the Inside Out Project initiative has begun to drastically catch on in every corner of the globe. The project aims at empowering individuals from all across the world and across many cultures to promote a humanitarian ethos among their communities, neighborhoods and cities. Highlighting a range of the participants in the project, the enthusiastic artist sheds the light, less on himself in favor of painting a broader picture and casting a vision for both those who had participated in their own ways as well as those in attendance for the passionate lecture.

Superheroes in Old War Photos 01 Superheroes in Old War Photos

Had there been superheroes in the past, would the outcome of important history events been different? Revolutions, World Wars and nations threatening each other with nuclear power could have been prevented had there been a superhero present. It’s just food for thought.

Photographer Agan Harahap from Indonesia has seamlessly worked the pop culture icons into vintage photos of historic figures. There’s Heinrich Himmler getting a lecture from Captain America, Superman protecting art treasures from looters and Batman looking over the shoulder of Fidel Castro. Superheroes can’t be present, unless super villains are around, so of course Darth Vader hangs out at the meeting of Yalta with Stalin while the Joker makes an appearance elsewhere.

Have a look at all the photos after the jump to see where other superheroes and villains crop up.

Lisa Leone “THEN” Photo Exhibition @ HVW8 Art + Design Gallery

Before the sold out shows, before MTV, and even before the culture of hip hop had taken mainstream root, Brooklyn-born photographer Lisa Leone was carefully documenting the burgeoning movement of musical community through the lens of her camera. “THEN” is a new solo show from Leone featuring those deeply personal photographs of pioneering names like Snoop Dogg, Lauryn Hill, Mary J. Blige, Wyclef Jean, A Tribe Called Quest, and of a time before hip-hop became what it is today. Each evocative photograph and respective interview captures a unique interaction between Leone and her subject, depicting growing up in Brooklyn on the very cusp of a cultural revolution. The exhibition will be showing at HVW8 Art and Design Gallery in Los Angeles, starting on May 11.

Simple and to the point, the images serve as a reminder that film is still an important medium despite the advances in digital capabilities.

Ryan McGinley at Team Gallery

Ryan McGinley opened up an exhibition of new works at Team Gallery, both off Wooster and Grand in New York City. It looks like a huge turnout occurred at both locations, which is not surprising. The immensely talented photographer continued with what he does so very well in capturing people in a unique artistic manner. Both male and female were photographed alongside a variety of animals set against colorful backdrops. Opening Ceremony was on hand to capture the action and they also were able to sit down with the photographer for an interview that you can read here. Also, each exhibit will be running through June 2, 2012.

Take a look at some of the photos after the jump. NSFW.
