EXCLUSIVE:  ARTISTS INCLUDING ALISON JACKSON, BEN EINE AND SARAH MAPLE TO TAKE PART IN 'THE PEACE PROJECT' THIS OCTOBER
Today Former US Ambassador to Israel Martin Indyk predicted that the United States will go to war with Iran as early as 2013.
It is in reaction to such imminent conflict that is the inspiration behind Art Below's 'Peace Project', a collaboration between peace activists and contemporary artists.  
Taking center stage of the week long exhibiton starting 12th October at London's 'Gallery Different' (Off Tott Ct Rd) will be  the 2 'Peace Plinths' that have stood outside the Houses of Parliament since 2009 in opposition to the Iraq / Afghan war.  
Celebrated artists including Alison Jackson, Billy Childish, Ben Eine, kennardphillipps, Sarah Maple and Inkie have come together in support of world peace through their art.   Proceeds of selected works including the plinths will go to The Halabja Community Playground Project in Northern Iraq.    
During the one week show there will be a series of talks panelled by peace campaigner and founder of the Peace Plinths Maria Gallastegui, Tam Carrigan - war photographer and co-founder of The Halabja Community Playground Project and Simon Moore who since founding Art Below in 2006 with his brother Ben Moore has taken on a different path in life running initiatives like the Kew Eco Village and Democracy Village 2010/11. He recently became the first person in Britain to be awarded a full 2 year ASBO for peaceful protest. 
Selected works in the show will also form part of Art Below’s billboard exhibition at Regent’s Park tube station throughout October.  This coincides with the Frieze Art Fair (11th -14th October) in Regent’s Park.
