Gilbert & George Vs JR

I went to the G&G opening at the White Cube gallery with Luisa. It was probably the most horrable piece of work I have ever seen and proved to me even further about work created solely as a comodity.
On the other hand just around the corner there is an exhibition by JR a French photographer. I was a fan of him already and een more now. He takes photographs of street artists and of the suburban French ghettos. These images are blown up on an architects printer ( as he old me himself ) and wallpaper pasted onto walls. Some big billboard sizes. Influences me to get photos printed the size of billboards and paste onto them. Take pictures of people on the streets and put them up......
