Lego Huge SculptureWhat is it about tiny bits of plastic that turns people into morons? Something like this makes me want to lay my head on my arms and weep, weep for humanity and the drivel that comes out of it in the name of being creative.
I can't decide who I judge more, the idiot who spent days painstakingly reconstructing this retch-inducing ensemble, or the idiots who come across it and say..."Nice'. If I sound like a pretentious ass its because on good days, say Mondays to Thursdays, I make it a point to be one. Why do I care so much, you may be tempted to ask. Somebody has to. This is just torturous, this awful black and white thing posing as an outfit, and its replica in tiny plastic bits, which atleast has more integrity in its creation, but both invoke the question, WHY? Don't get me wrong, I have seen weird and wonderful bits of art emerge from childrens toys. The very nature of innocence and playfulness imbedded in such things lends itself so well to the sinsiter, the macabre, the at the very least mildly interesting. At the Saatchi collection the Chapman brothers have created boxes filled with tiny toy soldiers depicting gory battle scenes from video games or Apolcalypse Now, something equally bloody and warlike. Its insane, slightly pointless and absolutely enthralling. But this? This is so...wasteful. Why, in the name of the good lord, if you have a talent for turning lego into something quite elaborate and detailed would you choose to churn out this bloody thing?
