Many of you have already supported the project LEGORAMART initiated by Muttpop on ulule.com and I encourage anyone who has not yet made up their mind to do so quickly at this address, the financing of the project to be completed before the deadline of October 17, 2013.

This beautiful 144-page book, delivered for 40 € with a collector's box and a giant cover poster, brings together a selection of the most beautiful creations of seven LEGO artists (Cole Blaq, Jason Freeny, Nathan Sawaya, Mike Stimpson, Kristina Alexanderson , Dean West and Angus McLane) interviewed by Laurent Bramardi, founder of the publishing house dedicated to photography: Work is Progress.

But if the artists mentioned above are known to many of you, Laurent Bramardi is not a character who gravitates in "our universe": Work is Progress publishes books of photographs and documents combining politics, reportage, and artistic approach.

To offer us some ideas on his character, he kindly agreed to lend himself to the exercise of the interview, in the same format as those you will be able to discover in the book.

I therefore propose below a brief meeting in seven questions / answers with one of the men at the origin of LEGORAMART :

Your first LEGO memory?

Laurent Bramardi: I didn't play too much with LEGO when I was a kid, but I remember an '80s commercial for a LEGO space station. I found it on YoutTube, it has aged rather badly: in fact, CGIs are not bad, after all.

The toy of your childhood?

LB: Star Wars figures. I spent hours imagining that the shrubs in the garden were giant trees, I would have liked to get lost in them.

Damien Hirst (British contemporary artist editor's note) or Georges Lucas?

LB: Georges Lucas until I was 18, after Hirst was not yet known but I would have chosen him without too much hesitation. In any case they are real businessmen, each in their category, and this is not necessarily the kind of dreamer that I like the most today.

The photo you will never forget?

LB: A photo of Antoine d'Agata, a very dark view of a rough sea, in Japan I believe - one of his images that escapes his usual themes, at first at least. The grain is very marked, clouds of carbonaceous, dense points, which transform the landscape into an almost abstract view. We recognize the waves, the foam, the wind, the leaden sky, but all this tells about something else, an atmosphere. It's an image that comes to mind very often.

Your movie and bedside book?

LB: It's a really difficult question, there are so many things… A film by Malick or the Quay Brothers, if you really had to choose, something quite contemplative anyway. There are few other mediums to stretch time as well as cinema. For the books I will take two, La Nausée by Sartre and Tristes Tropiques by Levi-Strauss. They are old comrades who have followed me for a long time and whom I always reread: they tell me as much about their respective subjects as about the evolution of my way of seeing things ...

The thing you wouldn't dare say with a LEGO?

LB: That the class struggle is over.

Is there a LEGO art?

LB: We will see in a few years whether it is chosen, in any case there is indeed in my opinion a new form of dissemination of creation, which will perhaps be the new vector of art to come. In fact, I don't know if we can speak of "art", try to define it, other than in the past, if we can think of it other than as an established fact.

It is thanks to the poster below bringing together some big bad guys present in the game that we learn that MODOK (For Mobile Organism Designed Only for Killing) will be playing alongside Bullseye, Magneto, Venom, Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Kingpin, Mystique, Doctor Doom, Loki and Abomination.

The character will play an important role in the game according to Arthur Parsons, the Game Manager. He will intervene to slow down the player in search of "Cosmic LEGO Bricks"and allow Doctor Doom to escape aboard a submarine ... Quite a program.

Other images taken from the game on which we can see MODOK are online at my flickr gallery and Brick Heroes facebook page.

A quick note to tell you that the MMO Open Beta Legends of Chima Online is finally accessible from France.

For those who do not know this game whose I had already spoken to you a few weeks ago, this is a free online game whose action takes place in the universe of Legends of Chima.

You create a character, buy items, chat with other players, go on quests and take out the wallet if you want to boost your stats or equip yourself of items specific.

At home, the plugin Unity, essential to play online, crashes miserably during the loading sequence of the game. I will try to fix the problem to take a look at it even if it all furiously reminds me of LEGO Universe ... With the end we know.

If you try the game, feel free to share your first impressions in the comments.

The rumor that i was talking to you a few weeks ago has just been confirmed by the "accidental" uploading of the box above: The next set of the Architecture range (21021) will be the magnificent Marina Bay Sands hotel complex located in Singapore.

This building had won the annual competition organized by LEGO "Vote & Inspire Us".

We therefore have to discover the Eiffel Tower in Architecture sauce, also announced by the same rumor ...

Accuracy: The image above is a homemade assembly, to make you forget that the visual of the set is really small ...

Few months ago, I was talking to you on this blog of an incredible diorama of the Battle of Helm's Deep (or Helm's Deep).

A true artistic and (inevitably) financial performance, this crazy diorama has traveled according to conventions and has undergone some changes over time.

Richard aka GOEL KIM, sent me an email to let me know that her baby was "finally" finished: The fortress was dressed in rock and the number of minifigs in situation increased from 1700 to 2000.

What to say ? that I really admire the work done, that the reconstitution of the scene is epic, that the level of detail is exceptional for a diorama of this scope and that the modularity of the whole, intended to facilitate transport and assembly / disassembly is unparalleled ingenuity.

I stop the superlatives there, and I invite you to go and view the latest photos in Richard's MOCpages space.
