From my photo
of a large bronze sculpture in the United Nations plaza in New York City
taken just before 9/11.
The gun sculpture was part of the
UN Human 2000 Peace Initiative: The Gun
Sculpture, and table the Canadian study, Putting Children First: A
Framework for International Action to Address the Impact of Small Arms
on Children.
The exhibit is the work of Edmonton artists, Sandra Bromley and Wallis
Kendal, and was sponsored in part, by the Government of Canada through
the Canada Millennium Partnership Program. It is a multimedia project
constructed with more than 7000 decommissioned weapons, donated by
countries previously affected by war. It has already been viewed in
Hanover, Germany, Seoul, Korea and most recently in Ottawa. It will
remain on display at UN headquarters until September 3, 2001.
