Ron Mueck at the Brooklyn Museum

The webpage for the Ron Mueck exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum has only large three images of sculptures for the show from 2006/2007. The other resource material provides some really useful links, accompanied by 'explicit nudity' warnings.

'Behind the Scenes' links to a Flickr album with details of several of the installations. 'Teacher Packet' "provides detailed information about the sculpture Two Women and about Ron Mueck". 'Q&A' allowed people to ask questions of the artist. 'Video' links to a short Quicktime movie about another sculpture. (No, I'm not giving the URLs. Go to the exhibition page and explore from there.)

There once was a link to the full video at blip.tv.  As for the video, I'm not quite sure why the Brooklyn Museum link is no longer active, or why it's where it is on blip.tv, but it gives a great, detailed description of the construction of one of the sculptures in the show. It seems like Mueck's sculptures generally are either oversize or undersize, but the amount of work he puts into accurately depicting the human form is quite marvellous.

The review in the New York Times is still on the web and it gives a helpful description of the exhibit.
The Wikipedia entry for Mueck is quite brief but it has at least one very good image. Some of the links are worth exploring.

A Google search found a few good things, especially this video at metacafe, which would be embedded below except that Blogger didn't like the code I copied .
