Control Arms Campaign: The exhibition that shouldn’t exist, Student gang-raped and killed

Leo Burnett Lisbon created the “The exhibition that shouldn’t exist” campaign for Control Arms – a worldwide coalition fighting to approve the Arms Trade Treaty later this month. The exhibition is a collection of paintings designed to look like abstract artworks in a first sight. But then, when people read their placards, they realize they’re actually in front of gunshots stories. Through a QR code on each placard, people can see the ballistics test that simulated the related story on the painting. “The Exhibition that shouldn’t exist” portrays the reality of the irresponsible arms trade around the world, turning visible a violent truth that many don’t see. The paintings will be displayed in the Electricity Museum in Lisbon and then sent to Control Arms in NY. They will show them in their opening press briefing, held at the UN Secretariat. The exhibition also has an online version, where people can have the same experience with the paintings and their videos.

Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance: Tchaikovsky Flashwaltz at Hadassah Hospital

Forty students from the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance took a classical approach to the flashmob as they flashwaltzed Tchaikovsky’s Waltz of the Flowers at the new Sarah Wetsman Davidson Hospital Tower in Jerusalem. Doctors, patients and passers-by joined in the fun. The surprise concert was part of Good Deeds Day, an annual event that originated in Israel in 2007 and now takes place in over 50 countries worldwide. On this day volunteers reach out to the less fortunate and the vulnerable. The Academy students enjoyed the day so much that they have decided to schedule regular concerts at the hospital. Hadassah Medical Organization treats over one million patients annually, without regard to race, religion or national origin.

autoTRADER.ca: The better way to buy and sell cars

autoTRADER.ca is the most effective way to buy or sell a used car. People who don’t know about it would need to go to pretty extreme lengths in order to get the same results. This campaign dramatizes the lengths that buyers and sellers go to – whether it’s breaking into a complete stranger’s car to solicit an owner review, or robbing a bank to get the most exposure for a used car – to illustrate beyond a doubt that autoTRADER.ca is the better way to buy and sell cars.
