Yesterday, while I tagged along on a late night Maccas run, I noticed the most exciting ad on the side of a bus stop! It was informing all the great people of Brisbane that Ron Mueck is in town, or at least his pieces are...
He is a brilliant hyper-realist sculptors who is really amazing and famous... in the art world at least. I've known of him for at least a year; I even dedicated a page of my 3-D scetchbook to him my first semester at MCAD!
While I was researching where to go and find his exhibit, I discovered he was Australian! I remember reading he worked in the UK, but I completely forgot he was from Oz! Just a little useless fact for you!
But I found out his work is being displayed at the
Queensland Art Gallery, which I have yet to visit! I've gone past it on multiple occasions whenever I go to the city. Maybe this will be my motivation to visit before I leave! I believe the museum itself is free to enter, or I'm really bad a spotting a price on their website.
But the Ron Mueck gallery, for sure, has a charge of $12, which is a bummer seeing as money will be tight these next couple weeks. I'm really starting to wish I didn't lose my student ID! For students it's only $6!
This is still EXTREMELY exciting though! I'm even willing to cut back on the ice cream and Tim Tam expenses to go!
