Pieces (Art Installation)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

'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.
