Ron Mueck @ Fondation Cartier – Paris

Exactly one year ago we had the occasion to attend to Australian animatronics expert Ron Mueck major exhibition @ Hauser & Wirth in central London. And because he has always deserved much more exhibiting space Parisian Fondation Cartier is organizing their most important expo of the year in what is considered his first major exhibition in Europe since his previous show @ the Fondation back in 2005.

In addition to six important recent sculptures the show includes three produced especially for this event, two teenagers in the street, a mother and baby and an elderly couple on the beach. A new film recording their creation has been made for the occasion by Gautier Deblonde. Revealing the reclusive artist at work further emphasizes the sensitivity and power of Ron Mueck’s sculpture and highlights its particular resonance for our time.

A great occasion to revisit one of the most important hyperrealist sculptors in one of the most attractive exhibiting spaces in the French capital, opening this next Tuesday and running until end of September. More info on the Fondation Cartier website.
