Hasta La Ideas

In his latest sculpture project, James Dive of The Glue Society has compacted an entire fun fair – including rides, dodgems and even prizes – into a four metre cube.

The work, entitled Once, is on show at Scultpture by the Sea in Aarhus, Denmark, until July 1. “The project is about the finality of a missed moment,” Dive says. “Creating [it] was undoubtedly the most violent process I’ve ever embarked upon.”

For the previous Sculpture by the Sea event in Aarhus, Dive created I Wish You Hadn’t Asked, a large house, where it rained on the inside (see our post here)

He was also behind God’s Eye View, in which four key Biblical events were portrayed as if captured by Google Earth

And Chance of a Late Storm, a comment on global warming in which a melting ice cream van oozed across the promenade and onto the sand at Tamarama in Australia (the work will be touring Australian beaches later this year)

Also featured at Sculpture by the Sea this year are a giant message in a bottle (see swimmer for scale) by Vibeke Nørgaard Rønsbo
