Over to Kettle's Yard this weekend for the Ai Wei Wei exhibition.
It explored the idea of how we know that art is real or not. It included this vase.
There was this piece with three large panels made of Lego, showing photographs of when Ai dropped a very expensive Han Dynasty vase... and how the event was then pieced back together... something been destroyed and something created at the same moment... A lot of Lego...

To find out more about the pieces, including an excellent series of 'willow pattern' style plates on the theme of migration with very different imagery (check out Ai's film 'Human Flow' for more on this issue) you can view the exhibition guide as a PDF by clicking this text. (PDF download)
