| The Art of the Brick, featuring Nathan Sawaya's works made from LEGOs at Art and Culture Center of Hollywood. |
1650 Harrison St., 954-921-3274, Artandculturecenter.org
The Art of the Brick, an exhibition by Nathan Sawaya, whose 2008 and 2010 shows broke all previous attendance records in the center's 30-year history ... Sawaya, a former attorney who won LEGO’s 2004 nationwide search for a Master Model Builder, will present many works not previously exhibited at the center. According to the Art and Culture Center, the artist's work, which has previously included a 7-foot-long replica of the Brooklyn Bridge and a post-Katrina work titled Rebirth of New Orleans, "imbues an emotional content that might be considered antithetical to a hard-edged plastic toy such as LEGO."
The show opens 6-9 p.m. June 8, and continue with a live LEGO build in which Sawaya will share some of his techniques from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 9. The exhibition will run through Aug. 19. (Special gallery hours held during this exhibition will be 10 a.ml to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.)
Running concurrently with the show is Cloud 9, an exhibition of works by Karen Starosta-Gilinski who alters provocative textured objects and "starts to break them apart and puts them together with other objects until they become visually satisfying and strong enough to express the unique look of a character or situation."
