These photos were taken at an exhibition entitled 'The Cubic Structural Evolution' by Danish artist Olafur Eliasson which is currently running at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne.A table full of white lego blocks stands in the foyer of the gallery. Visitors are invited to sit down and make white lego structures. The structures then become part of a cityscape that is forever changing.
It is fascinating to watch all sorts of people sit down and construct buildings and to see the interest the project generates in the foyer of the gallery. It makes me think that there is a very innate drive to construct shelter for ourselves and to be part of a social entity, in this case a city.

I wish i had that much lego! Did you build anything yourself?
Thanks for your comments Nicole. Yes I did have a bit of a go. Everyone only had 15 minutes so it wasn't possible to build a skyscraper but it is nice to just sit there and put something together like we did when we were kids.
