Jan Voorman is a contemporary Eurpean who became involved with a the practice of the representation of architectural construction. Using randomly coloured LEGO, he installs the bricks in the cracks, the wear and the degraded and damaged areas in historically profound sites manipulating their combination to create an aesthetically structural fit. The Artist recently practiced in Boccignano in Italy.
LEGO is translated from the Danish for Play Well and was attributed to Ole Kirk Christiansen in 1949 after seeking to expand on the limitations of the normal building blocks his company made out of the relatively new material of plastic in 1940.
Top Gear's engineering boffin, James May has contributed works of LEGO to a BBC project that was recently demolished, A House (a folly) worth 3.3 million Pounds was removed with a successor planned. James May's other projects include a tulip garden of plasticine.
(note: a taste of postmodern identity is recognizable with the advent of LEGO, {however personally linked to a violent image},LEGO responds overwhelmingly to the toymakers constraints and archetypes through its ability to self animate/ automate, it teaches self criticism.It projects toward the uncanny with its supreme powers of representation. It thanklessly enables the creativity of a global audience, even its price has remained consistent, it is still a private company, which is an exclusive merit)
