From the curator :
"The Lazarides circus comes to New York for a two week hit and run show in Manhattan showcasing the very best new work from our artists in a group show called ’The Outsiders’. Representing the best of our artists across a range of styles, the show will feature works from Faile, Paul Insect, JR, Antony Micallef, Jonathan Yeo, Miranda Donovan, Invader, David Choe, Mark Jenkins, Todd James, Vhils, Polly Morgan, Mode 2, BAST, Conor Harrington, Zevs, Blu, Borf and Ian Francis.

Antony Micallef will show his huge Times Square piece and Faile, JR and Blu, whose huge graphic murals adorned Tate Modern, will show alongside Jonathan Yeo’s porno portrait of the US President. Zevs will perform using his unique liquidated logo on a very different kind of naked canvas. Invader, famous for leaving cubic aliens around the planet, will be revealing his most ambitious psychogeography to date, and another secret work will provide a certain famous lady with some much needed funding for her forthcoming presidential campaign."

Voilà la raison des récentes actions de JR et Mode 2 sur les murs du Lower East Side !
