Is this the same artist who stood in a London market with a babylike figure attached to a leash? She was making a statement about something or other but I what remember most being amused by was people's reactions to her...anyone know what I'm refering too?
i have to thank macro for posting those urls on ron mueck and patricia piccinini. patricia is known to set up her sculptures in public places from time to time. she may very well be the artist you're talking about? just click on the photo sky posted, it takes you to her site. there may be something as you described hidden within her site but i'm not sure at this time? i remember seeing ron's work online a few years back like a lot of you folks; those mass emails with a dozen or so images attached that would say shit like "a picture's worth 1000 words", etc..
i first saw patricia's creatures in my february 2006 issue of juxtapoz, coincidently i've just recently stopped collecting the magazine after 11 years. it used to be bi-monthly which gave you a lot more time to read the mag cover to cover, depending on your life style. having it come out every second month was exciting; anticipation of the next issue was part of the appeal. it was like mail ordering something and then finally being filled with the euphoric "it was so worth the wait" feeling! the art had a lot more substance it seemed and the styles were far more diverse compared to what we're now seeing.
it was monopolized (in a good way) by the grand daddies of this lowbrow movement such as juxtapoz founder robert williams, todd schorr, mark ryden, eric white, donald roller wilson, chris mars and dave cooper to name a few. speaking of the term 'lowbrow'; back when i worked with culleton at palliser (circa 2000-'03) i used to throw around the word lowbrow a lot and that provoked him to throw around white staedtler erasers... directly aimed at my head most times from across our office *sigh* ...i miss working with james. we used to visit the underground cafe a lot and eat sun burgers all the time. mmmmm... sun burgers... ahem. i digress. sorry... so... uh, yeah... that's my story. :|
