No Real Than You Are

An 8 foot tall Lego man was pulled out of the sea by the employees of a beach-side drink stall in the Netherlands yesterday. The words “No Real Than You Are” are printed on his chest, and the name “Ego Leonard” and the number 9 can be found on his back. A little googling turns up pictures of the Lego man at a music festival called Dance Valley in Amsterdam. Apparently it’s all the handiwork of an artist collective called “Ego Leonard” which is somehow connected to Du Fois. Here’s some video of the sculpture on the beach (his head turns!). Another mystery solved by the internet.
I saw that show at SFMOMA in 2000, it reinforced why Sol LeWitt’s obsessive investigation of one form became an entirely wonderful oeuvre.
While I was in Marfa, I saw a lot of Donald Judd boxes. If Sol LeWitt and Donald Judd had a baby, it would most certainly be a Blockhead. Yes, hit the gong now….
