Dissident contemporary artist Ai Weiwei recently placed a large order for Lego bricks to be used in an art piece; the Danish toymaker declined, citing a policy against involvement in political work. So the Art Gallery of Ontario, along with several other international institutions, is collecting Lego donations on Weiwei's behalf. Per his studio's instructions, the blocks are to be tossed through the sunroof of a second-hand BMW sedan parked outside the AGO at Dundas and McCaul. It'll stick around through January 3, with the roof open during regular gallery hours, weather permitting.
