Storefront for Art and Architecture hosts BIG in NYC

by Grant Martin (RSS feed) on Nov 6th 2007 at 9:15PM

If you're in New York City at all over the next month, be sure to check out the exhibit integrated into the Storefront for Art and Architecture at 97 Kenmare St. The nonprofit will be hosting BIG, a Danish group through the balance of this month, focusing on innovative residential spaces and ideas. The models of several designs are displayed in the Kenmare St. space, largely built out of LEGOS.

I know, we've all seen that giraffe or airplane built entirely out of Legos at the mall, but seeing this in person is different. You can get right up to the giant buildings, look straight into the 32nd floor across to the other side and see all the Lego people interacting. It's like being Godzilla.

Entrance to the Storefront is free; stop by before November 24th for your giant-person fix. And make sure you have the audio on for that Youtube video -- that song has been driving me buggers all week.

Now why WOULD you go Velociraptor all over the exhibit? Were you trying to re-enact Gojira, King of the Monsters?

I'd love to see those pictures.

Mmmm, Godzilla! Reminds me of that Simpsons episode where they go to Tokyo and at the end when they're flying back home the pilot comes on and says "Uh, folks, we're experiencing some moderate Godzilla-related turbulence at this time, so I'm going to go ahead and ask you to put your seatbelts back on.
When we get to 35 thousand feet, he usually does let go, so from there on out, all we have to worry about is Mothra, and, uh, we do have reports he's tied up with Gamera and Rodan at the present time. Thank you very much."

Yes, the photos I didn't post were of me going velociraptor all over the exhibit.

I'm not allowed back in the Storefront for A&A.
