JR and the new participatory Art

JR is blowing up, he hails from France....i think. He is pretty secrective and stays anonymous given the large scale narture of his artwork. He has done massive urban assaults then has had the cities ask him to do major buildings wrapped in his photos. The guy has a great eye and has applied his pictures beautifully to many diverse landscapes ranging from the favelas of brazil to the separation wall in israel. His face to face project gained him notoriety and can be checked out on dailymotion.com along with his other works. This month there is a feature on him in the new Juxtapoz magazine.
