14 Days of LEGO: Day 14

We made it!

The Telephone Room Gallery is celebrating the last of our 14-day LEGO blogging spectacular with some live blogging from the opening of our LEGO Show!

Thanks to everyone who has come by today. For those of you who haven't, here's what you're missing:


IT'S THE CLAWR! (created by Ellen Ito)

If you didn't make it tonight, remember that you can always email us to set up a private viewing appointment. The LEGO Show will be up through September 30, 2010.

14 Days of Lego: Days 12, 13

Here at the Telephone Room Gallery, we are very busy getting ready for the upcoming opening of our LEGO Show. So busy, in fact, that we never got the blog post up for Day 12 of our 14-day LEGO-related countdown!

As an apology for yesterdays omission, we've provided a double-dose of LEGO fun: the brick house and the outhouse. The first, a link sent in by an astute Telephone Room Gallery follower, is an immense building project being undertaken in the UK.



The second is a sneak-peak of one of the works from The Telephone Room's very own LEGO Show, part of a special series by Dan Creamer.



Come by tomorrow after 6 pm to see everything we've created, or to make something yourself! Remember, you can always email for directions or to set up an individual viewing appointment.

14 Days of LEGO: Day 11

Welcome LEGO and Telephone Room Gallery fans!

On Day 11, we'd like to direct you to the genius of one Michael Hickox. These LEGO recreations of classic arcade games reminded us here at the Telephone Room of some our earliest, fondest gaming experiences....specifically, our utter inability to play them with any skill whatsoever.

Take a look!



If you haven't had enough, here's the second installment:



Only three entries left, and that means three days until the opening. Hope to see you there!

14 Days of LEGO: Day 10

We are in the home stretch in the Telephone Room Gallery's 14 Days of LEGO blogging spectacular!

You can tell because we are resorting, just this once, to linking to a collection of amazing LEGO links assembled by someone else.



Any one of these items could be its own daily dose. Especially LEGO Han Solo. Consider this economy-sizing your LEGO fix.



We've made it to Day 10. If you'd like to go all the way back to where we began, click here to go back to Day 1. Only four days until our LEGO Show Opening!

14 Days of LEGO: Day 9

Your daily dose of LEGO continues on Day 9, better late than never...

Cake and Neave (formerly The Little Artists) use "an existing diverse range of artistic symbols and materials" in their work. And on this blog, you know what THAT means....

14 Days of Lego: Day 8

The Telephone Room honors LEGO, Ted Kennedy, and SPAM.

14 Days of LEGO: Day 7

Since we've had seven straight days of LEGO in all its glory and wonderment, we thought it was time to go back to where it all began: Denmark. No, really.


Today we pull back the curtains and show you what really goes into the making of this magical little brick.

Remember, Day 7 means the LEGO show is only a week away!

14 Days of LEGO: Day 6

Here on Day 6, we'd like to take a moment to appreciate the fans of The Telephone Room Gallery who have sent in their own favorite LEGO finds. In their honor, we're doing a two-for-one special today, featuring our favorite clips from our fans' favorite clips!

The LEGO Boat



Watch and learn why boats should be made from wood and steel. Skip ahead to 5:13 for something really special!


8-Bit Trip



This is just cool. Well, 8-Bit cool. LEGO 8-Bit cool.

They also liked this on Gizmodo. Notice that this only came out a few days ago. The whole world knows the Lego Show is coming!

Keep those posts coming, dear readers, and remember that the LEGO Show opens at The Telephone Room Gallery in only 8 days!

14 Days of LEGO: Day 5

Since yesterday was a day of rest, we'd best get back to work with the Telephone Room's 14 Days of LEGO!

Today we're featuring the artist Jan Vormann, whose Dispatchwork project has rebuilt cities across the Middle East and Europe with our favorite colorful little building block.


Here's an interesting interview with Vormann that provides some insight into his use of LEGO. Enjoy!

14 Days of LEGO: Day 4

Happy Sunday! Give us this day our daily LEGO.

14 Days of Lego: Day 3

On Day 3, we are featuring a fun post from the NYTimes Abstract City Blog. Christoph Niemann's "I LEGO N.Y." left two-thirds of our gallery wanting to go back there, and one-third wanting to make the trip for the first time.

If you'd like to see more of his work, you can go to Niemann's website.

Getting tired yet? We hope not. 11 more days until the opening for the LEGO Show!

14 Days of LEGO: Day 2

After starting out with our amps cranked to "11," you may be wondering what's next in The Telephone Room's 14 Days of LEGO.

Since we began Day 1 with a classic LEGO single, it only makes sense to showcase some album art on Day 2.

Once again, in LEGO.

The Telephone Room is proud to present to you this link, which will take you to a whole page full of classic album covers, recreated in our favorite medium.

14 Days of LEGO: Day 1

Next up at the Telephone Room Gallery, we're premiering a show dedicated to our favorite childhood (and let's face it, adulthood) plaything: the LEGO. Our LEGO SHOW is opening on September 2, and to raise awareness we're planning 14 days of LEGO on the TRG blog. Check back to the blog every 24 hours for a daily dose of LEGO goodness.

We're starting off with a classic, something that reveals the true power of LEGO.

Yes, it's Queen's 1975 magnum opus, Bohemian Rhapsody. In LEGO.
