Please join Frankie Picasso host of  The Good Radio Network on Thursday, February 19th, 2015 at 1:00 pm est when she is joined by Julien Hanford, a Brithish  Artist/Photographer from London, England whose ambitious project titled "THE FALL" is his offering to the World, to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the end of World War 2.

THE FALL is an art installation and event to commemorate the genocide of six million civilian human beings during the course of the second world war.

The installation consists of 6 million domino tiles. These are arranged, stood on end, in a gigantic block measuring approximately 7,500 square metres. For 6 days they stand, marking the 6 years of the second world war, between 1939 – 1945.

At noon on the 6th day, they will be toppled, row after row, by the hand of a Concentration Camp survivor.

Says Julian, "To this day, I struggle to visualise this vast figure – it’s an abstract number, diluted by the passage of time. Around us in the intervening 40 years, we have also witnessed the re-ignition of the same racism and intolerance in the world that our species should have consigned to the waste bin of history. This is true to the point that there is an active movement now for the denial of the holocaust.

We also feel priviledged to be able to give our listeners a first listen to Mad World by Aurelia which is due to be released  by Amazon on 26th Feb!

Please join in this important conversation. We look forward to sharing this incredible story with you.
