Gigantic (!!!!) statue in Germany
Hi all,
Just saw this 2-story-tall MOC (!!!!) on Brickshelf:
:arrow: Warning (I guess) - It's a statue of a nude
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=911878

Jojo has a picture, as does Thekla, so I assume this is somewhere in Germany. Jojo, do you have more information on this?

Re: Gigantic (!!!!) statue in Germany
Hello!
The story is this if you are able to read Norgwegian (I am not): http://www.nnks.no/utstilling/andvig.htm
The statue was built by an artist, Kjersti Andvig, who wanted to show the coherence between biology and mathematics, art and sciences. So she built this statue that consists of 14,000 bricks which resemble the countless atoms in our body.
Somebody posted this pic to the 1000steine.de forum and there was a bet if I was able to upload this pic to BrickShelf, get the censors pass it and have it in my gallery for at least one week. As you may have noticed the yellow woman is stark-naked, something that is not appreciated by the owners of BrickShelf....
Bye
Jojo

She's a brick----house

She's a brick----house
The lady's stacked and that's a fact,
ain't holding nothing back.
That is a heck of a lot of bricks dudes.
Jojo - I hope you win that bet.

No, no its not. If it had a few key additions, then perhaps it would be.Emperor James wrote:Wow, that is big! But isn't it a bit pornographic?
But as it stands now, its art.

It's a good pass at classic greek styling (dang, I forget the name of the pose). Shows what you can do with enough "pick-a-brick" and time.
While this hardly shocks me (ain't nothing on the human body I haven't drawn and displayed while in college) you might want to put a "nude" warning on your message for the more sheltered amongst us.
