ARC DE TRIOMPHE: WORLD INSTITUTE FOR THE ABOLITION OF WAR

2010

The project of transforming one of the largest and most important war memorials into a monument that would become an institution acting on behalf of the abolition of war was first presented in the text “Arc de Triomphe: World Institute for the Abolition of War,” published in 2010 in the Harvard Design Magazine. In 2011, the artist presented blueprints, a visualization, and a model of the proposed design at the Galerie Gabrielle Maubrie in Paris. The idea was discussed in greater detail in the book The Abolition of War (London, Black Dog, 2012).
