as “art,” who knows, but as a demonstration of staggering talent, skill, and execution, it blows my mind. one day, i will see a ron mueck installation. one day…oh yes…one day…anybody up for an impromptu trip to texas?
on a side note, i’m impressed by the museum’s web savvy and sophistication. they’re locked and loaded with a flickr account, a substantive blog, and from the looks of their clean (if not semi-stylish) website, some cool programming. specifically, a janus films series.

dude I saw the big sleeping unshaven face (I think it’s part of that Texas installation) at the SFMOMA on a field trip for some lame “introduction to the Bay Area art scene” freshman seminar at college. Not only was it the only piece of ‘art” I saw there that didn’t piss my young self off, but it also became my favorite sculpture ever. You need to see that shit up close, Jenn, it is insanely rad

is it as rad as being with you up close, hellen? b/c nothing can top that. NOTHING.
