Nicky, Age Three, Creates the Duplo Gates, Temporary Installation Art
3-year-old Nicky constructs and demolishes the Duplo Gates as documented at www.braintique.com/gates/. This temporary work of installation and performance art was inspired by Christo's Central Park Gates.
Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) February 20, 2005 -- Proud papa Harold Davis, CEO of
Braintique.com, says, “Nicky must have seen some of the television footage of
the Christo Gates in Central Park. It took him less then fifteen minutes to
construct the Duplo Gates, and (with help from his brothers) less than five
seconds to demolish the Duplo Gates. You can see installation documentation at
www.braintique.com/gates/.”
Segments of the Duplo Gates
installation include Thomas the Tank Engine Gate, Horsey Gate, Room Gate, and
Potty Gate.
Nicky states: “That was fun, let’s do it again! I want to
play with my trains now.”
Nicky’s father, goes on to say, “I think he may
have been inspired by the Somerville Gates (www.not-rocket-science.com/gates.htm), or the Crackers (www.smilinggoat.com/crackers.html), although I’m not really
sure how he saw those. Nicky said he though the Crackers looked tasty. Anyway,
after seeing some footage of the Christo installation, he sat down with his
finger paints to do a few sketches, and right after that just created the Duplo
Gates.”
Note: DUPLO blocks are large-sized LEGO blocks, intended for
younger children. Both DUPLO and LEGO are trademarks of the LEGO
Company.
