The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is having a Ron Mueck exhibition – We’ve posted about Ron’s amazingly lifelike sculptures (okay – gigantic lifelike hollow sculptures made from fiberglass and silicon) before, but The Modern blog pointed us to a Flickr set of the artwork being installed!

urg…for someone like me thats not too fond of kids…this is one scary sculpture. Imagine the booming *WAAAAAAHHH* this baby could produce. (not to mention the HUGE load in its diaper. yuck.)

Simply Amazing. And….uh, a little creepy. His work is almost TOO realistic, and definitely not something I’d display in my home, even assuming I could afford it in the first place, LOL…

I actually went to the exhibit in Fort Worth (my home town). It was incredible. There’s also a short documentary showing Mueck create one of his sculptures. That’s a must see if you get to see the exhibit. Highly recommended.

i saw one of his large men at the hirschorn in DC once and was impressed too. now then… let the “this ain’t art” ripping commence…

“silicon” or “silicone”? Why do people always seem to mix these up? It’s not that tough, is it?

I was having a hard time finding Ron Mueck’s schedule of gallery and museum showings. So my friend and I just made a mini website for this info. Any leads or links others might have are appreciated. Thanks.
