Description

Join the List Center for a screening of Paper & Glue (2021) in the Bartos Theater. Join the MIT List Visual Arts Center for a screening of Paper & Glue. This documentary follows acclaimed French artist JR as he travels around the world, uniting communities and working to challenge perspectives through his monumental projects. From early illicit graffiti videos captured on Paris rooftops at night, to the US-Mexico border, to the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, to a current collaboration at a California supermax prison, the film follows JR as he turns these communities inside out, turning images of residents into eye-catching and immersive art installations. Paper & Glue follows the Oscar-nominated Faces Places, which was directed by JR along with Agnès Varda. This program is part of the Independent Activities Period (IAP), a special four-week term at MIT that runs from the first week of January until the end of the month. The List Visual Arts Center is the contemporary art museum and visual art lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
