Notice the optical illusion in the grid? It's the Hermann-grid illusion.

This is a re-upload of one of my favorite images to remind me of home. I was out on a snowy Minneapolis evening after sunset at the Walker Art Center Sculpture Garden and captured this image of the Claes Oldenburg sculpture that is a icon of the Twin Cities.

The Binoculars Building, originally the Chiat/Day Building, is a commercial building located in Venice, Los Angeles, California, which incorporates the public artwork "Giant Binoculars" by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen on its street-facing facade.
Cupid’s Span, the monumental bow-and-arrow sculpture by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, anchors Rincon Park with a playful wink to San Francisco’s romantic soul. Set along the Embarcadero’s lush waterfront, the oversized fiberglass-and-steel artwork arcs into the skyline, its crimson arrow seemingly fired from across the bay. The modern towers of SoMa rise behind it, a mix of glass grids and bold geometries that frame the sculpture’s dramatic curves. This surreal, larger-than-life love letter sits among palm trees and wildflowers, inviting locals and visitors alike to pause, smile, and fall for the city all over again.
On top of everything else going on, my computer decided not to boot. Luckily a friend dropped by with a notebook so I can leave this message. Life's a constant test. Hopefully, the Geek Squad can fix me tomorrow.
A lot going on these days in the Bush family. Apologies for not visiting but other priorities have taken over. Will certainly do my best to visit whenever I get a chance.
A homeless man asleep under the Free Stamp sculpture in downtown Cleveland. Sculpture by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. For more info, see www.city.cleveland.oh.us/around_town/city_highlights/land...
From that page:
"Van Bruggen suggested the word “Free” to represent liberty and independence and to make a positive statement in the heart of the City" which makes the homeless man sleeping underneath it all the more ironic.
The Clothespin is a steel sculpture by artist Claes Oldenburg that towers above The El stop at Centre Square at 1500 Market Street. Developer Jack Wolgin commissioned The Clothespin sculpture in May 1974 as part of the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority’s Percent for Art program.
It was dedicated June 25, 1976. The Clothespin is made of Corten (or “weathering”) steel, is 45 feet tall and weighs 10 tons. It’s been praised by art critics for its velvety texture and weathered, warm reddish-brown color. The silvery steel “spring” part resembles the numerals 7 and 6, a nod to the United States Bicentennial year.

Made in Oakland USA by Claes Oldenburg and (born Dutch) Coosje van Bruggen. The work of art represents a bowling ball hitting 10 pins and is almost 33 ft (10 meter) tall.
Situated at the corner of the Kennedylaan and Fellenoord in Eindhoven.

On the 70th birthday of Willi Fehlbaum, Vitra’s founder, his children presented him with the sculpture “Balancing Tools”. Erected on the grounds between the main road and the complex of buildings, it depicts the tools of the furniture maker juxtaposed with one another on an oversized scale.
Artists: Claes Oldenburg & Coosje van Bruggen, 1984.
"Cupid's Span" by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, was built in 2003 along the Rincon Park area near the Embarcadero in San Francisco. Resembling Cupid's bow and arrow with the arrow implanted in the ground, the statue symbolizes the place where Tony Bennett "left his heart".
MocOlympics round 2: Rinse Jan vs Andrew Somers
Category: Claes Oldenburg - The Swedish born, American educated sculptor is best know for his large scale replicas of everyday objects. Choose your own everyday object and recreate it at a scale large than reality out of Lego.
I need some scissors...

Can you find all the details? Like the pram, the car, the birds and the background?
At first I got no clou what I had to build for our 'awesome' catogory.
But after a time I got some ideas: and I really love the way the whole MOC came out. Not only because this almost was exactly how I pictured it and how I wanted it but also because I learned a lot from my building.
first I started with creating large things out of LEGO: giant keys and locks and others things (dont know the english word for those). But after a while I made a pair of scissors and I thought: "this is it!.
I made some others thing around it (kept these out eventually), and created the suroundings and background. At last I used the only daylight left to take these pictures.
hope you enjoy.

hope you enjoy, and please leave some comments.
