Want to stick it to the Man with a bunch of Lego? The Man being Lego itself? After National Gallery of Victoria was been announced as the first international Lego collection point for the Ai Weiwei project in conjunction with the Andy Warhol | Ai Weiwei exhibition coming to the NGV, Sydney's got its own collection point, announced today.

Confirmed this afternoon, the Art Gallery of New South Wales will become the first Lego collection spot for New South Wales. From Friday, November 20, a red BMW will be parked out the front of the AGNSW and visitors are encouraged to bring in their Lego blocks and drop them through the sunroof of the vehicle. Postal donations can also be sent to the gallery via Ai Weiwei LEGO Project, Art Gallery Road, The Domain, Sydney NSW 2000.

"We thought it important to be involved in the project as part of our role to support the broader artistic community and especially our art museum partners such as the NGV," says the AGNSW team."

This comes just hours after the artist posted images of his first completed works on Instagram. Check them out over here.
