Sculpture: Sugar Metropolis


Prints available for purchase from Etsy. Society6. US$

What would you do with 500,000 sugar cubes? Well, Irish artist Brendan Jamison and his collaborators Mark Revels, Mary McCaffrey, Lydia Holmes, and David Turner built a Sugar Metropolis at the Ulster Museum in Belfast, Northern Ireland.  Visitors were even invited to participate in the miniature city's construction as part of the exhibition.

Now, with the help of No Longer Empty, they’re bringing their project to Harlem's Sugar Hill district. The new exhibit aims to celebrate the power of collaboration, with the goal of igniting the imagination of the neighborhood. Brendan Jamison has launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the project.
