However I though it would be nice to remind to the world what a humble person he is.

JR owns the biggest art gallery in the world. He exhibits freely in the streets of the world, catching the attention of people who are not the museum visitors. His work mixes Art and Act, talks about commitment, freedom, identity and limit.

It took some time to put together this material. Amsterdam, Poland north to south trip, meeting lots of new people, working in extremely hot conditions and George’s finger injury. The latest issue of the magazine is packed with some quality content. We feature Roa, Dave Kinsey, Mr Jago, Kevin Cyr, The Yok M-City and more. If you are interested in getting a copy go to VNA online shop.
