#1 LEGO Batcave Built From 20,000 Blocks With 4 Lights Powered From Behind

This was made by Carlyle Livingston II and Wayne Hussay and it took them more than 800 hours to build it co2pix

#8 Largest LEGO Ship Without Support That Break The Guinness World Record

If you compare the LEGO version of “World Dream” with the real “World Dream,” it’s set at 1:40 ratio. The similarity between the LEGO ship and the real ship is close to 100%. If you look from afar, it’s not instantly apparent that this is a cruise ship built from LEGOs. It’s is 8.44 meters long, 1.33 meters wide and 1.54 meters high, and is made from more than 2.5 million LEGOs. The weight of it is also quite stunning because it weighs around 2 tons, that is, about 6,100 pounds Etllor,unwire.hk

#9 My Dad Was Going Through Old Photos And Found A Picture Of A Boat We Built Together That Was The Length Of Me And Was Two And A Half Feet Tall

My aunt gave me her entire stash of LEGOs from when she was a kid for Christmas that year. She crammed it all in a mattress box. I wouldn’t have been able to build it if I didn’t have all those LEGOs from the 80s and 90s PoopintheBox16

#18 After Months Of Designing, Then Building, Then Designing Even More, Then Building Again, It’s Finally Done

Hogwarts in its entirety. It’s around 34×54” in size, coming in at about 25,000 pieces in total (with a bunch of those pieces coming from an additional Hogwarts set). What I am proud of most of this build is that I didn’t really have to alter the original set at all (with exception to removing a few tables from the great hall and some of the easily removed rock plates on the open side). It can be slid apart to reveal the interiors, which was crazy tricky to maintain while at the same time closing it off ryankroboth

#23 LEGO Homer Was My Personal Project

I’ve spent over 2 weeks designing and building the sculpture. It was the first time I had ever made a large-scale LEGO sculpture. Much of the building process was pure visualization, double-checked by a little counting and math. I started the prototype by building Homer’s eyes and then making his face outwards from there Sean Kenney

#24 LEGO A380 Plane

The A380 is one of the world’s largest passenger aircraft, and Singapore Airlines was to be the first to fly this plane. This model is the biggest plane model that has ever been built in Legoland Denmark, made in Lego bricks with a wingspan of 320cm (~10ft). It is built to a scale of 1:25. They used approximately 75000 Lego bricks Eje Gustafsson

#36 Fully Functioning Air Conditioner Out Of LEGO Bricks

When I was asked to build an air conditioner, I thought “Nathan, let’s not just make a replica of an air conditioner. No, Nathan here’s a golden opportunity to make something cool. Let’s make a functioning air conditioner. Now that would be cool!” Please note that by ‘functioning’ I just meant a spinning fan. And by ‘cool’ I meant someone who would not address themselves by their own name. Working feverishly at the 2006 Carrier Convention I built a functioning replica of Carrier’s newest air conditioner, complete with the compressor, valves and a working fan. It took every hour of both days of the convention, but in the end, I was happy with the result. And with that spinning fan, wow, what a breeze Nathan Sawaya

#41 LEGO Polar Bear Which Is On Display At The Philadelphia Zoo

This sculpture is the largest and most visually complex sculpture I have made to date. It contains over 95,000 LEGO pieces and took over 1100 hours to construct together with 5 of my assistants. I spent 2 full days creating just the facial expression. I wanted to make sure the bear didn’t look too cartoonish, but also that his expression could be readable the way we read human emotions. Since he is stuck on an ice float and his species is endangered, I wanted him to look a little frustrated, a little sad, a little confused, and overall concerned about the predicament he is in Sean Kenney

#42 LEGO Boardroom Table

This boardroom table is 4ft x 9ft. A monolithic slab made up of a random pattern of the instantly recognizable LEGO pixels, with the company’s logo built in relief into the table top, falling away under a glass surface. Architects don’t typically work as contractors, so it was hugely rewarding for us and financially efficient for our client when we decided to build the table ourselves. The table consists of 22,742 pieces clicked together with traditional LEGO construction techniques (no glue), a 136mm grommet is located in its center abgc

#43 Blood Vessel Sculpture

This gigantic LEGO sculpture of a blood vessel was built in 48 hours over five days and using just under 50,000 LEGO pieces. No computers or programs were used for the design. Everything was done by eye straight from our imaginations Mark of Falworth

Curation for Interim Show

Originally when we started the process of curation for this unit, I wasn’t confident in my other group members to be proactive in creating a good exhibition. However, many people shocked me as the process went on, and people who faded in the background for decisions came forwards in involvement.

At first we had the presentations of all the artists. Afterwards we discussed the potential for finding commonality between the diverse group of mediums and conceptual themes. There seemed to be several links of theme between groups of 2-3 artists each. Many small connections, but not one or two overarching connections. We decided that we could use this to our advantage and instead of having one large theme, use several themes for the artists to work with. This gave us the idea of a journey, or chain reaction that the viewer would move along linking each theme, work, and artist to the next. 

We met up with the group of artists during their curation, and they decided that they would put our works between two themes: Religious Spaces/Heavenly Bodies. We decided that it would be interesting to contrast this idea in the following week by working with ideas inspired by Dante’s Inferno and the 7 deadly sins. We didn't want to come across as Satanical, and also wanted to avoid the cliche of the 7 deadly sins, so we developed a contemporary interpretation. 6 themes: Pleasure, Voyeur, Obsession, Displeasure, Phantasy, and Pride.

We brought this new idea up to our artists and tweaked the titles and arrangement to suit each of them and their works in correspondence to each other. We didn’t want to dictate too much, and wanted to make the theme work around their practice as much as possible, since the show was for them. I feel like we gave them the ability to work well within the themes they were allocated.

Closer to the date we did not have a title and really had to rack our brains to figure one out. After much discussion, and after several near-satanical-worshiping horrible ideas, we got the the idea of Transcendence. As if the viewer would be moving through the space from layer to layer of theme within the space. We decided to make it backwards, as sort of an inverted form of transcendence, into a darker place as opposed to a heavenly more spiritual one, a darker human version.

Since we had decided our branding, we really started to get the ball rolling. Cam and Cam worked on a publication and facebook group for an event. Since the previous week there was not much traffic in their opening, we really wanted to make sure we had people come, because Oliver was planning a performance. Me and Beth developed a map of the placement of works based around the logo Cameron designed. We thought of the idea of using colours to indicate each theme associated with the artists, and to put the artists names on the map where their work would be. We also decided to put little stickers of the colours associated with theme at the bottom left corner of each work. In the critique Craig brought up the point that coloured dots next to work indicate when a work is being sold or bidder on. This is probably where I thought of the idea, subconsciously without remembering the actual reason. In retrospect we wouldn’t have used the stickers if we had taken that into consideration. It’s actually kind of funny to me now.

Me and Beth took a bit of a leading role in a lot of the planning and allocating jobs, we also made a lot of the final decisions in terms of installation of work and display of the overall exhibition. This was also the time when I felt like a lot of the people who faded into the background of decisions came forward. A lot of people were extremely hands-on and productive, and we managed to hang the work quite rapidly. This may be due to the fact that we had planned, and re-planned the arrangement of the exhibition before installation, to ensure that each work got the space and attention it deserved and that no work would out-shine the other.

I stayed a bit later with Courtney to make sure that each piece had a light on it, and to clean up any garbage or forgotten nails, set up the snack, and so forth. I wanted to make sure that everything would be tidy and ready for the opening. 

The opening itself went rather smoothly, a lot of people turned up to the performance, which made me feel very excited for Oliver but very nervous. He had sent me his sound piece prior to, and I edited the sound for him to maximise the focus on the voices and master out the background noise. It was a recording he had taken of his family arguing. While editing the work, I found myself feeling very invasive listening in to his personal life and expected the piece to be quite impactful. I also lent him my iPod shuffle for the performance. The idea was that he would have the Audio played through two sets of headphones, one he would listen to, and the other would be available for the viewer to listen in on. In front of Oliver was a door, freshly painted with gloss that he bang and scratch at in response to the audio he was listening to.

This was all going well, a lot of people were watching, and others who came in word of an exhibition, not expecting a performance were slightly afraid, or maybe intrigued upon entering the exhibition. They would either join the observers or awkwardly glance and then run off. I find it so interesting how people interact with performance. Understandably so, as this particular piece was quite aggressive and personal, therefor very intimidating to the viewer. But even performance in general tends to be misunderstood by many, especially people who are not necessarily art-fanatics, or even some artists who value craft more than concept and can’t let themselves understand it. Even worse, the general public who doesn’t enjoy art at all, it seems they don't allow themselves to experience or understand the idea of an action and a person being a live and living art piece. 

I find this had an affect on my piece as well. Even though I was softly singing in a stairwell, people were afraid to pass me, to even look at me. I think this stigma can make performance art difficult, but I also think this idea makes performance art more impactful because it can be alarming to some people.

Other than the performance, there was Iyesha’s work which I loved. It was very delicate and difficult to place. We originally wanted to suspend it, but settled for placing it up high on a platform. Being made of cling-film, it did suffer a few tears, but all in all the impact of the height of it was fantastic.

Overal I am very happy with the result of the exhibition. I thought that initially, I wouldn’t be interested in curation and only saw myself as an art-maker, not organiser or leader in any sense. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that, I did take on quite a bit of leadership, and enjoyed it. I actually think I am quite good with it, which seems out of character to me in most other aspects of life. Recently we have been informed about the Fairhurst Gallery opportunity to curate or present your work in a real gallery in the city. I think I will apply to curate it now.
