The Art of the Brick: LEGO® Sculptures by Nathan Sawaya
The Art of the Brick is the first major museum exhibition in the United States to focus exclusively on the use of the popular LEGO® building block as an art medium and New York based artist Nathan Sawaya takes it to new heights. The exhibit features thirty works created solely from standard LEGO® bricks over the period 2002-2007 with several new ones created specifically for this exhibit. Nearly one million colorful LEGO® pieces transformed into whimsical and awe-inspiring images will be on display. Sawaya's ability to transform this common toy into something meaningful, his devotion to spatial perfection and the way he conceptualizes action, enables him to elevate what almost every child has played with into the status of art. Partial underwriting for this exhibit is provided by The Oppenheim Foundation. For more information on the exhibit, contact the Everhart Museum, 1901 Mulberry Street, Scranton, at 570-346-7186 or email: general.information@everhart-museum.org. |
