The Art of the Brick
While in Sydney I went along to Nathan Sawaya's Lego exhibition "The Art of the Brick" at the Town Hall. It was pretty crowded with kids but was otherwise awesome, and unlike the money-hungry Warner Bros you were allowed to take photos at this exhibition. Which made it all kinds of wonderful.
"Blue Guy Sitting"
"Mask"
"Mask". This kind of full face mask is called a Bauta.
"Untitled"
"Untitled"
"Courtney Yellow"
"Parthenon"
"The Artist's View"
"Untitled"
"Swimmer"
"Peaces"
"Yellow"
"Hands". The sculptor's worst nightmare: living without the use of his hands.
"Skulls"
"Rain"
"Apples"
"T-Rex". This piece took Nathan 80,000 Lego bricks and an entire summer to create.
"Sing"
"Untitled"
"Globe"
"Thinker"
Awesome. Just awesome. Would have loved to attend this.

K: yup, pretty cool :) I think I liked the Artist's View best.. the entire scene was made of Lego, including the tripod and the floor tiles (the mosaic of sydney was pretty awesome too)
