Speaking of Hyper-Realism



1. Baudrilliard would be proud that were talking about hyper-realism.
2. This is Ron Mueck. London based sculptor. Does kinda the same stuff, but plays with scale.

QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK:
- what is beauty and how do artists use it?
- religion as commodity is a popular theme not only in art (Serrano) but also film (jesus camp). what are some other examples of religion as commodity?

Oooh, I'm just now realizing how large the sculptures are. I wonder how the heck he does it! That's really neat.
