Ryans exibition blog: Art crazy nation

Judit and I went along to the Little Artists show Art Crazy Nation.
It was a lego homage to famous works of art. Each peice was a legonised version of a work and had a minifig (a lego person figure for the unintiated) of the artist. which was cute, It was amusing seeing how they characatured the features of the artists within the limits of the lego parts catalougue. like warhol had the iconic white hair. each sculpture was intriguing you could see all the descisions the artists took in representing the works. and how you could recognise the works aswell as individual peices of lego.

A almost game like aspect that Judit pointed out was the difference between the pictures and how the figures were aranged in their current state, it added a futher degree of playfulness the the exibition. and made you question was it the playfull nature of the artists, or did they just get set up slightly different by the gallery staff? it also alludes to the imagination these small structures of moulded plastic in our childhood create elaborate sets, structures and plotlines.

my favourites leaned heavily to the works that I had knoledge about in their "real" non lego form

The SEED Gallery is a small gallery in newmarket it has the conventional white walls and varnised wooden floor, the works were displayed on shelves on the walls and pedatals in the center of the room, the photographic prints were suspended by bulldog clips.
