Micaela Martegani, director of More Art, and Krzysztof Wodiczko, artist, discuss the artist's latest public art project.
The piece, which consists of a light projection on the memorial statue of Lincoln in Union Square Park, gives a voice to the veterans of the Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan wars.“As our troops withdraw from Afghanistan, this commemorative statue, commissioned just a few years after the Civil War, again becomes a place for dialogue about war,” says Micaela Martegani, founding director of More Art.
