'Pieces' is a diptych by the British artist and sculptor Baldrick Buckle. It was exhibited at the Europlaza, Pakhuis De Zwijger Amsterdam in 2007. One half consists of a room containing over 20 million individual jigsaw puzzle pieces and the other consists of a cube built from approximately 8000 empty jigsaw puzzle boxes. An article about the installation and an interview with the artist was published in NRC Handelsblad, a Dutch national newspaper.
A version of 'Pieces' that included a car, a caravan, a gin & tonic bar and a market stall was also commissioned and exhibited by the organisers of the Art Car Boot Fair 2007, held in London's Brick Lane. The installation was extensively captured by users of Flickr.com and on BBC Collective and was also used as the backdrop to a Richard & Judy television feature on the event.
Famous quotes containing the word pieces:
“When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. And now when every new baby is born its first laugh becomes a fairy. So there ought to be one fairy for every boy or girl.”
—J.M. (James Matthew)
