In this volume Wodiczko, winner of the Hiroshima Art Prize in 1998, offers a detailed examination of his proposal for \u003ci\u003eThe World Institute for the Abolition of War\u003c\/i\u003e, a projected \"Un-War Memorial\" constructed as a structure encapsulating the existing Arc de Triomphe in Paris. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWodiczko is joined by anthropologist Douglas Fry to shed light on the silent but deeply rooted ideologies of war, which permeate our contemporary societies, fuelling current acts of aggression and threatening to erupt into further warfare. Fry's essay \"Abolition of War: An Agenda for Survival\" contradicts the generally held assumption that war is an inevitable aspect of human life, and posits new models of global interdependency as the necessary step towards viable peace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKrzysztof Wodiczko was born in 1943 in Warsaw, Poland and is currently Professor in Residence of Art, Design, and the Public Domain at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design.
