This publication of a joint exhibition brings together two important voices in contemporary art for the first time. The juxtaposition of Australian-born Mueck s hyper-realist sculptures with Israeli-born Ben-Ner s installations and videos creates a narrative about the contradictions, challanges and creativities of the human condition. Among the works discussed are Old Woman in Bed, Head of a Baby and A Girl (Mueck) and Treehouse Kit and Stealing Beauty (Ben-Ner).
