As an example of taking an otherwise common material and manipulating it into art, I found this example of the world famous Ice Hotel in Sweden. Every year in a small town in Sweden, dozens of artists from around the world come together to create the Ice Hotel. Each room is designed by a different artist, so each room has its own unique touch. The artists work painstakingly to carve beautiful, almost unearthly sculptures out ice. They even manage to create functional pieces out of the ice, like chairs, bed stands, furniture, etc. As a result, the Ice Hotel is one of Sweden's top tourist attractions.
