Ron
Mueck has been invited to present his new sculpture at the Fondation
Cartier pour l’art contemporain from 16 April to 29 September 2013. This
is his first major exhibition in Europe since the hugely successful
Fondation Cartier exhibition of 2005.

In addition to six
important recent sculptures the show includes three produced especially
for this event. 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.

Based
in London, Ron Mueck has had highly acclaimed exhibitions around the
world from Japan to Australia, New Zealand and Mexico, but shows of his
new work in Europe have not been frequent occurrences. Mueck works
slowly in his small North London studio, making time itself an important
element in his creative process. His human figures are meticulously
detailed, with surprising changes of scale that place them as far from
academic realism as they are from pop art or hyperrealism.

Nomadic Nights Since their inauguration in 1994,
Nomadic Nights regularly invite artists from the contemporary scene to
take over the exhibition spaces and the Fondation Cartier garden for an
evening.
Concerts, screenings, lectures and performances: artistic forms intermingle, creating connections and unexpected encounters.
For the exhibition devoted to Ron Mueck, the Nomadic adventure continues with a new program of eclectic and unusual evenings.
