Sensational Sand
Again, not a Daniel-related post, but interesting nonetheless.
SandSation is scheduled for this weekend in Berlin, Germany. Giant, and I mean GIANT, sand sculptures will be crafted right in Berlin. I saw photos from this event last year and they absolutely blew me away. I am, as I noted previously in this blog, 100% inept in the art deparment. My sand castles come from pre-formed, castle shaped, $1-store sand buckets. There's not a bucket in site with these masterpieces. If you can't go, check out the site for photos. Very cool stuff.
From their site:
"The best artists from all around the world will be allowing themselves to be inspired to create new marvels by the theme Modern Fairy-Tales. The festival area will be increased once again by a good 500 square metres between Lehrter railway station and the Federal Chancellery for SANDSATION 2005. The charming, wildly romantic landscape-park at Lehrter Straße Central Station, which is at the heart of the new centre of Berlin directly next to the Federal Chancellery, thus offering even more space to our artists from more than 10 countries for their gigantic, sandy works of art. Ten sand wizards who have received the highest international acclaim will be competing with individual sculptures within the framework of the 3rd German Sand Sculpture Prize in a friendly competition. Furthermore, the artists will create a huge Great Sculpture Complex of up to 12 metres in height."
