iraqimemorial.org

iraqimemorial.org
is a participation-based conceptual project launched in 2007 as an
internet platform for artists, designers, and architects to propose
concepts for memorials to the unrecognized civilian casualties incurred
during the ongoing conflict in Iraq. Works presents an exhibition of
plans and responses selected out of the pool that now exist on the iraqimemorial.org site.
The proposal guidelines encourage participants to use a wide range
of locations and mediums to create collective memory and unity, drawing
upon traditional and expanded ideas of memorial. iraqimemorial.org is
an effort initiated by media artist Joseph DeLappe to call upon the
collective creative community to consider the cost of war from all
sides. The exhibition at Works presents a selection of 54 of the
most striking submissions as selected by two juror’s reviews. Featured
projects span a range of creative practices including:  architecture,
social media, geomapping, performance, video and the visual arts.
