But whatever you do, don't put a picture of it on a bus in Calgary.

If you don't know what is a pupik, ask richlevy or consult your copy of Leo Rosten's The Joys of Yiddish. What I thought was particularly interesting about this series of photos is that it's showing what you don't usually see ... the installation of the piece. Plastic wrap is not a toy. We've featured Ron Mueck's work before as an IOTD, back in 2004. I don't think that piece is quite as exciting. There's something disturbing about a wrinkly, bloody, just extruded baby girl. Someday she will be a teenager and will do things like asking for the car keys or going on dates. With boys. |
The other other white meat.
You reckon they're preparing to slow roast it over a low fire? |
How is That art?
It's a model of something real. It's not art any more than a photo of a chair or a plastic cow in front of a feed store is. |
Ummmm.
No. |
Is that a slice of whole wheat bread under the head in the first picture?

No let's! This is definitely art and it evokes much emotion and complicated thought.
|
Damn. I just thought it looked amazingly creepy.
Cow orker got these in his email. He's a fine artist, which is great, when a patient challenges his credentials, he shrugs and says, "I have a bachelor of fine arts." |
Creepy is an excellent description.
|
Is the vagina that came out of part of the exhibit? Cuz THAT would be one scary show!
|
I think as a piece of art, the head of the baby draped in plastic is way more arty than the whole thing assembled. And I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.
|
The head wrapped in plastic and the full-body baby are different pieces. Look at the scale difference. The plastic-wrapped head is 7-8 feet tall, the horizontal head is half that...
|
I've found baby heads usually swell when I wrap them in plastic, of course severed heads, not so much.
