Piece of Peace Tokyo x Nooka

As a child, my brother and I spent many hours transforming our basement into a small mid-western Lego city complete with a law enforcement squad capable of patrolling the high seas. Unfortunately, we never were able to see the artistic capabilities of these building blocks of art and architecture beyond what the instructions for the Lego Police Station and Airport told us to do..and fortunately, our work isn't on display at Peace of Piece Tokyo. The Lego-sponsored art event to raise money and awareness for Unesco opened on February 1st and runs through February 25th at the Parco Art Gallery in Shibuya, Japan. Much of the works on display consist of refashioned world heritage sites and two-dimensional works that give a nod to world peace in all their Lego glory. One of the featured artists is Nooka Inc's principle Matthew Waldman, whose piece, Peace Memorial for Great Buildings Lost is inspired by the loss of great buildings and monuments destroyed by war and unrest. If you find yourself in the Japan area, we recommend checking out this great exhibit for a great cause.
