This Saturday I had the good fortune of being able to visit the Kimball Art Center in Park City to see Nathan Sawaya's exhibition "The Art of the Brick", a presentation of Lego sculptures. It was PHENOMENAL. Dallen and I spent like 45 minutes in there, and the exhibit is NOT very big. It's amazing to see the intricacy and the attention to detail with such a seemingly "juvenile" medium. I mean, they're playthings. There was this text panel with a bit of info about the artist and he talked about all of these little right angles grow into curves and other super artsy stuff like the deliberate ambiguity of the titles so we can make our own interpretation...it was surprisingly profound for a bunch of sculptures made out of toys. We even learned more when we went back through a second time to show Dallen's friends. We weren't there even a tenth of the time we were before but it was still just so entertaining.
Point is, you should go see it. The exhibit's there until November 15th! Or if you can't, just look at this sweet stuff posted on the Kimbal Art Center website.
Also. Listen to the Black Keys.

That sounds super tight. How do you always hear about all these off the beaten path goings-ons?
A friend of mine took me to see it actually:)

I was trying to look at your blog on my brother's computer, which uses this super sensitive security filter. Want to know why I couldn't look at your blog?
