In collaboration with Hydro and Vestre, we have created an art installation for the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo, Norway. The “peace bench”, entitled The Best Weapon, will be first unveiled at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City on Nelson Mandela Day, July 18th. As a symbol of diplomacy and dialogue, the installation pays tribute to the Nobel Peace Prize laureates and their efforts to bring people together to find effective solutions for peace. Designed as a partial circle that meets the ground at its lowest point, the gentle arc of the bench pulls those sitting on it closer together. The installation’s singular design gesture embodies an invitation to conversation. Engraved on its surface is Nelson Mandela’s famous quote, “The best weapon is to sit down and talk”, from which the piece derives its name. The installation will remain at the UN Headquarters’ plaza through September, when the plan is to transfer it to Oslo and a permanent location near the Nobel Peace Center and the Oslo City Hall, where the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded annually.

We walked around the @thenobelpeacecenter, exploring the exhibits, being incredibly inspired... And then we walked into this light and color, and there was Barbara @photospice, light and color herself, walking into the frame. Love love love.

Did you know that Nobel Prizes (in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature and Economic Sciences) are awarded in Sweden, but only Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in Norway? Why? It's in accordance of Alfred Nobel's will.
This Nobel Peace Center showcases the Peace Prize laureates and their work; from Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela, to Barack Obama and Malala Yousafzai.
I wonder how come out of 260 million population in Indonesia, no one ever won any Nobel Prize, yet alone Nobel Peace Prize.
Any thoughts?
