Please join us in the Lower Commons this Friday, June 11, 2010, 2:30-3:00 PM for the unveiling of "One Word," a commemorative sculpture celebrating peace and friendship between China and the United States. Atlanta is one of six cities in the United States and China selected to receive a US-China friendship sculpture to commemorate 30 years of peaceful relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China. On the sculpture donated to The Carter Center, the words "Peace" and "Friendship" are engraved in Chinese, English, French, Spanish and Arabic. The sculpture is in the shape of ribbons flying from the four corners of the earth, attached to the top of a pyramid. The sculptor, Professor Zou Wen of Tsinghua University’s School of Arts and Design, is widely recognized as the most influential young public artist and cultural event planner in China. He has worked as the host of the Beijing Landscape Olympic Planning Demonstration, expert judge of the Shanghai EXPO Landscape Sculpture Planning Project, and judge of the Beichuan Reconstruction Landscape Planning Programme, for reconstruction in the aftermath of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. Dr. Zou will speak at the unveiling, as will Dr. John Hardman, President and CEO of The Carter Center, Dr. John Stremlau, Vice President of the Peace Programs at The Carter Center, Dr. Shaohua Hu, President of the Association of Chinese Professionals in Atlanta, and Atlanta City Councilman Kwanza Hall.
