The work of Ron Mueck is on view at Oakville Galleries at Centennial Square (120 Navy Street). The work of Guy Ben-Ner can be seen at Oakville Galleries in Gairloch Gardens (1306 Lakeshore Road East). this is in oakville ontario.
just for information to those interested
The exhibition Real Life: Ron Mueck and Guy Ben-Ner showcases two important voices in contemporary art who share a common interest in a direct, hands-on approach to art-making capable of bridging the gap between experience and our reflection on it. The work of Australian-born, London-based sculptor Ron Mueck, drawn from the collection of the National Gallery of Canada, is exhibited alongside the work of increasingly prominent Israeli-born artist Guy Ben-Ner.
photo bucket if you can believe said it was against their rules to post this picture. i guess they live in the dark ages lol so they blocked it. i wasnt offended by it it never even crossed my mind that they would not allow it but alas this is life and they need to open their eyes
