Science North is presenting the world premiere of Sean Kenney’s Brick Masters Studio: Build Like a Pro with LEGO Bricks.
It's an interactive and immersive exhibition by world-renowned artist Sean Kenney.
"Science North invites visitors to explore the limitless possibilities of construction and design, discovering the intersection of creativity, science and engineering," says a news release.
The exhibit is open until September 1 and is included with general admission to the science centre.
Produced by Imagine Featuring science content developed by Science North, this one-of-a-kind experience features more than 100 sculptures built with over two million LEGO pieces.
As part of the exhibit, Science North’s blue coats will show brick builders-in-training the science and engineering tools and techniques that world-renowned artist Sean Kenney uses to create his creations.
"Brick Masters Studio presents a deeper understanding of how imagination and innovation combine to create something extraordinary," says the release.
Visitors will enter Sean’s studio to explore how scientific principles such as form, structure and colour theory influence the creation of his masterpieces. In the Sculpting with Shape gallery, visitors learn to “brick” two-dimensional designs into three-dimensional sculptures, while Colour Collision reveals the fascinating science of colour through vibrant displays and hands-on opportunities.
To complement the special exhibition at Science North, Dynamic Earth will also offer new workshops featuring LEGO sets from now until Labour Day weekend. To learn more about Brick Masters Studio or to learn more about Science North, visit sciencenorth.ca .
