Canstruction
This could be fun to check out if you're near the State Museum the next few weeks: Canstruction.
From the blurbage: "As part of a competition to benefit the Food Pantries of the Capital District, nine teams of local architecture, engineering, and design firms, as well as design students, will build 10 x 10 x 8 canned food sculptures that will be on display at the New York State Museum." (After the exhibition, the cans will be donated to the Food Pantries for the Capital District.)
Here are some sculptures built in past years in other cities.
Teams will start constructing their creations this afternoon in the museum's fourth floor gallery. They'll be on display for the public starting Thursday, running through April 28.

You get to vote for your favorite sculpture by donating a can of food in a designated box. So remember to bring a can of food if you are planning on going to see this exhibit.

Looks like loads of fun - cool ipod design from cans in the lobby. A must see.

If they're starting assembly this afternoon, is it possible for people to go and watch them create? I feel like that could also be a lot of fun. Either way, I'll be sure to bring a canned good with me when I go!
