Amusement park crushed into a cube in the name of art

[Nic]

The latest work by Australian artist James Dive sees an "entire amusement park" crushed into a 4-metre cube. The piece, entitled 'Once', is a comment on the preciousness of childhood memories. An industrial crusher was used to create the work, which includes dodgems, carousel horses, food stalls, sideshows, prizes and other items from a fairground. The work is on display in Aarhus, Dennmark until 1st July as part of the Sculpture By The Sea initiative.

Didn't Gavin post this?

What park is it?

Yeah Gavin posted about this in General Discussions.

I think it's just a bunch of generic rides.

Oh, I've just seen this one today
If anybody is interested in seeing it, its currently located in Aarhus just some 800 metres away from Tivoli Friheden. There are about 60 randomly themed sculputures in the place and there is some really awesome stuff (like a floating sauna, etc.)
