This weekend in Paris at Galerie Perrotin, NYC-based artist KAWS opened a new exhibition, Imaginary Friends, to massive international attention. Juxtapoz contributor made it to the opening, which featured some of the iconic KAWS pieces, and a very large, weeping Companion piece outside the gallery. 

JR, who has an incredibly busy year with his Inside Out Project from winning the TED Award, will be opening a new solo show, Encrages, at Perrotin Gallery in Paris this Saturday, November 19. The exhibition is a pre-cursor to the work that JR will be doing with Perrotin at Art Basel, Miami.
