You can think of this sculpture as a teaser for Kenny’s upcoming exhibition at Paul Kasmin Gallery entitled “Kolors,” which opens on April 4, 2013.

In Pieces by Dean West and Nathan Sawaya
New York! Don’t even think about missing a really cool exhibit by photographer Dean West and Lego sculpture artist Nathan Sawaya entitled “In Pieces” at Avant Gallery in New York (located at 201 Mulberry Street).
Dean West/ Nathan Sawaya
It’s extremely hard to see in these photos so let me explain what is happening. In each of Dean West’s large scale photos, certain background objects are made out of Nathan Sawaya’s Lego sculptures.
Lego Flip Flops!
Seeing the sculptures with the photographs in the same space is an extremely cool experience and it makes you wonder how they did it.
Extreme Closeup
The model in the above photo is wearing a Lego dress and the dress is on display at the exhibit and it will certainly take your mind on a trip.
Lego Dress!
The floating Legos you see in this photo are suspended by wires and it’s just one of of many extremely cool works of art that definitely need to be seen in person to comprehend their awesomeness!
“In Pieces” is only showing until March 17, 2013, so waste no time and head over to 201 Mulberry Street and check it out!

Cloud Gate by Anish Kapoor in Millennium Park in Chicago
“Cloud Gate” also known as “The Bean” by Anish Kapoor in Chicago is probably the coolest public sculpture you will ever see. It looks like a bean made out of liquid mercury, but in fact is stainless steel. Situated in the center of Chicago’s Millennium Park, from every possible angle, the reflections you see are spectacular.
Cloud Gate
Whether you are seeing mirror images of the magnificent skyline of Chicago or just distorted images of the people looking at their reflections, you could literally spend hours at Cloud Gate without ever getting bored.

Underneath the center of “the bean” was perhaps the trippiest view of all.

Of course, you can’t just see Cloud Gate by day. You must check it out at night for a completely different perspective.

It was also very cool to see so many people that might not typically be so into art interact with the sculpture and be so enamored with it.

If you are in the Chicago area, “Cloud Gate” is a must see! Best news of all, it’s FREE!

Cloud City by Tomas Saraceno on the roof of the Met in NYC. Now through November 4, 2012
New York! Don’t miss out on one of the highlights of the summer, visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art and heading up to the roof. Not only do you get to see a gorgeous view of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline, but through November 4, 2012, you can see Tomas Saraceno’s “Cloud City.” You can obtain free tickets to climb inside the structure (don’t worry, there’s a staircase inside), but those go pretty quickly, so you might want to head there first. If you don’t go inside, don’t worry – you can still see a view such as that pictured above.
Cloud City will be on view through November 4, 2012 on the Roof of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Located at 1000 Fifth Avenue (at 82nd Street). New York, NY 10028 Phone (212)535-7710 for Hours and More Information.
You can see more pics (including the very first G spy pic in existence) on The Worley Gig.
