French Artist, JR, Covers Building at 14th and T Street, NW


14th and T St, NW

From Contemporary Wing:

This October, Washington D.C., joins international cities like Havana, Rio de Janeiro, Paris, London, Hong Kong and New York in welcoming one of JR’s projects. JR brings UNFRAMED, a project started in Vevey, Switzerland, Grottaglie, Italy, and São Paulo, Brazil, to Washington DC. UNFRAMED is a urban project in which JR uses images from famous and anonymous photographers and reinterprets them by taking them out of context, giving the history of photography a new meaning.

JR covered a building at 1401 T Street, NW with celebrated Civil Rights Photographer Ernest Wither’s (Memphis, 1922 – 2007) image of the “I Am Man” demonstration, the 1968 Memphis sanitation workers’ strike, the last march led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. before his assassination in April 1968.

The installation happened on October 9 – 10th.

Ed. Note: In Jan. 2012 we heard that Stubs Kitchen and Wine would be coming to the building at 1401 T Street, NW.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
