At Long Last : Ron Mueck

Finally! We braved the crowds to see the Ron Mueck exhibit at the GoMA. The smartest thing we've done in a long time - arrive when the gallery opened at 9 AM. Highlights/thoughts. (Everything has to be done quickly these days!)

This is THE SCARIEST THING I've seen. Maybe EVER. YEEEUCH.

She's still our favorite.

The scale is sometimes oversized and sometimes undersized. The detail captured by Mueck in these pieces is astounding. Here. Have a look.

What I liked most was trying to get a photo (and I'm not suggesting I was very successful at it - it was mostly a mental exercise..."wouldn't it be neat") of people "interacting" with these very lifelike creations.
