My friend, J, pointed me to the "Art Craziest Nation" mini exhibition at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool.

This photo above is a Lego version of Marc Quinn’s ‘Self’, a self-portrait sculpture that was originally made of Quinn's frozen blood. I saw the real thing when it swung through town a few years ago at that "Sensation" show at the Brooklyn Museum.
The Little Artists (John Cake and Darren Neave) immortalize iconic artists and their artworks in un-manipulated Lego. In Art Craziest Nation they have curated and built their own 'mini-exhibition' of modern art. A complete inventory of photographed work is available.
So fun! I wish I could go see it in person.

It is just so sad when you stumble upon an old post and realise that you have missed something special :-(
