The exhibition, hosted from the 25th November 2010 to the 10th January 2011 by the Spaziotindaci in Padoa, features a selection of works by Stefano Bolcato, whose protagonists are taken from the word of Lego.

The Roman artist employs these toys to narrate everyday life in all its different situations: from the most common and ordinary to the most serious and complex.

Even though bright colours and the playful nature of Lego tend to apparently make the atmosphere lighter, these characters often become a means by which delicate and controversial themes, such as temporary employment and workplace safety, are dealt with.
