A cave man encased in ice? The story behind this viral Minneapolis park sculpture
A lot of scary things come out of the deep, polar vortex of a Minnesota winter. Zug Zug, a cave man encased in a block of “ice,” popped up at Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis. Now his long-lost companion, Zarah, is out there awaiting discovery.
The two mysterious cave people didn’t emerge from the black lagoon or Frankenstein’s laboratory. Minneapolis ad agency Hunt Adkins commissioned Minneapolis-based artist Zach Schumack and his art collective, Leonic, to build Zug Zug as the centerpiece for an advertising industry show last February.

Like a caveman frozen in time, standing by a trail at Theo Wirth. Every person we ve talked to, they said they came to the park to specifically find this piece, artist Zach Schumack said. It s Wirth park, which is our neighborhood park, and I was like we gotta find it, Genevieve Johnson said. He was out there for hours. I was tracking to find him on my phone.
