materialisering van mijn project

Iraqi Memorial

On February 19, 2004, the World Trade Center Site Memorial Competition web site was launched. The site provides public access to 5,201 proposals from 63 countries that were submitted to this call for proposals to commemorate, in the words of the competition mission statement, "the thousands of innocent men, women and children murdered by terrorists" in the attacks of 1993 and 9/11.

"Operation Iraqi Freedom", the invasion of Iraq, had been underway for eleven months. It was at this time that I began to seriously think about the meaning and context of memorials to war.

Who is remembered? Who is mourned?

The idea behind Iraqimemorial.org is quite straight forward - to invite artists from all over the world to propose memorials to the victims of a war who will likely never be recognized through official processes. The submitted proposals may never be realized - the intent is to facilitate a process that allows for the expression of concepts as a collective, networked, creative act of remembrance that takes place in the present tense.

Guidelines for Entries
This project seeks to highlight conceptions of memorials in the broadest context possible. From individual gestures of personal remembrance to monumental concepts functioning on a global scale - all ideations of memory that address the issue of Iraqi civilian deaths are welcome. From sketches on napkins to fully detailed digitally animated walkthroughs - the diversity of approaches to expressing your ideas will help to create an engaging and thought provoking repository of memorial concepts.

Guiding Principles
Artists are invited to:

-Represent the spirit of the mission statement and project goals.

-Educate people about civilian deaths in the Iraq conflict.

-Address the lack of recognition of civilian deaths.

-Consider absence - of life, of accurately documented casualty numbers.

-Encourage reflection and a respect for life.

-Address notions of memory, monument and site.

Who May Submit Proposals?
All artists, designers, individuals or collaborations are welcome and invited to submit proposals. You must be at minimum 18 years old to participate in this project.

Participating artists as of 11/29/07 include
Tony Allard-USA, Paul Dixon-UK, Carla Drago-Australia, Al Fadhil-Germany, James Hutchinson-UK, James Johnson-Perkins-UK, Sabine Kacunko-Germany, Suzanne Kanatsiz-USA, Lynn Marie Kirby-USA, Erik Krikortz-Sweden, Patrick Lichty-USA, Maria Paschalidou-Greece, John Quinn-UK, Kate Sicchio, UK, Jack Toolin-USA.

Materials/Media/Processes
There are no restrictions in regard to materials, media or processes - this project seeks to encourage proposals from across the diverse spectrum of disciplinary and cross-disciplinary artistic practice.

Site
It is up to each artist to define the context(s) as to where the proposed memorials would ideally be realized. There are no geographical, architectural, dimensional or spatial restrictions of any kind - as there is no defined location this is completely open to individual interpretation and imagination (physical/virtual, local/global, permanent/temporary). Artists are encouraged to consider the identification of site(s) as fluid yet critical to the proposal process.

What to Submit?
Artists are invited to use the format best suited to represent their individual memorial concepts. This can include, but is not limited to: drawings, diagrams, architectural renderings, scale models, photographs, descriptive texts, audio files, video or animated walk-through - whatever format most creatively represents the memorial concept.

How to Submit
Entries are accepted via the website. Please prepare the following information then use the online proposal form to complete the entry process:

* 1-2 jpeg files and/or audio/video files up to (.mp3 or .mov), (a total 2 files maximum combined 15mb per submission)
