In pieces
Our friend Kurt, Bunny and I headed to the Art and Culture Center of
Hollywood [1] (Florida) for the Art of Nathan Sawaya featuring IN PIECES [2],
a collection of sculptures made from Lego [3] bricks.
[Yup, this is your typical art museum in Florida] [4]
[5] [Little fluffy clouds] [6]
[7] [Oh, so that's what my face looks like on the inside!] [8]
[9] [He could have been a contender if he just wasn't boxed in] [10]
[11] [Lego skulls are the rage—crystal skulls are just so passé these days]
[12]
[13] [It makes for a remarkedly quiet and clean pet] [14]
[15] [I can't believe I ate the whole thing!] [16]
[17]
Each sculpture was also used in a photograph [18] by Australian photographer
Dean West [19]. I didn't really bother with taking pictures of the pictures,
beacuse, well, taking a picture of a picture is just silly talk.
Besides, we came for the Lego bricks, not pictures of Lego bricks.
[Portrait of the artist as Lego bricks] [20]
[21] [This towel has just a tad too much starch in it] [22]
[23] [The arm, the leg, and the pedistal are all Lego] [24]
[25] [I'm crushing your head!] [26]
[27] [The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire!] [28]
[29]
Mr. Sawaya used kragle [30] to hold the bricks together instead of just
relying upon the inherent “snapness” (and I'm sure, to help keep everything
together during transport—I mean, the instruction sheet for his self-portrait
would rival the documentation to fully understand the Mac computer [31]) and
frankly, I don't think the clouds would fully stand up (or rather, float up)
without the extensive use of kragle. I don't think the kragle use diminishes
anything.
If you are near Hollywood, Florida [32], you should probably check it out
while you still can.
