In 1990, Dutch artist Theo Jansen began what he is known for today: building large mechanisms out of hollow plastic pipes that he calls a new form of life. His creations are known as Strandbeest and have been featured at Art Basel. His animated works are a fusion of art and engineering. Assemble your own mini Strandbeest and marvel at Jansen's ingenuity and creativity. Box is signed by the artist! Donor Adriana Atwill (RE parent) is Theo Jansen's niece.
