‘Lego is one of those things that everyone has experience of... They already have a relationship with that object.' N.Smith Gallery is delighted to present five iconic Lego works by Claire Healy & Sean Cordeiro via our new online program which offers singular or small bodies of work by the gallery's artists. Reach for the Sky includes Lego wall sculptures that emulate TV images of the Challenger space shuttle explosion. 'It was one of those memories where you think you remember,' said Cordiero, who was in school at the time, watching from several time zones away. 'I couldn’t have been at school, but I remember being at school.' Cordiero and Healy used Lego to make sense of the event that played tricks on their minds since childhood. The tragedy killed all seven crew members, including teacher Christa McAuliffe. Inspired by McAuliffe, who was supposed to teach children from space, the artists decided to use Legos to depict the tragedy. In essence, the works are a meditation on mortality. Please contact the gallery for a list of available works. Artwork: Claire Healy & Sean Cordeiro T+85_red&blue_diptych, 2013 recontextualised lego 113 x 298 x 3 cm
