The New York-based artist is currently touring an exhibition of large-scale sculptures made entirely out of standard Lego bricks. It's called "The Art of the Brick." Unfortunately the tour doesn't include Minnesota.
However, if you're inspired, you can take a shot at building your own Lego sculptures at the Lego Kids Fest, which will be at the Minneapolis Convention Center May 20-22. There will be a gallery of sculptures, activity rooms, and master builders on hand to talk about their techniques.
Oh, and your kids might want to go, too.
