About the exhibition

The Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain and the MMCA (National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea) present the first solo exhibition in Korea of the world-renowned Australian artist Ron Mueck.

The exhibition features iconic pieces from the various stages of his career, the monumental installation Mass (2017) which illustrates the latest developments in Mueck’s work, alongside photographs and videos documenting the artist’s creative process.

The works of Ron Mueck have profoundly renewed contemporary figurative sculpture. At once deeply mysterious and extremely genuine, they are often imbued with a surreal quality, which invites us to confront our own relationship with the body and, more broadly, with existence.

This exhibition at the MMCA is an evolution of the show held in Paris and Milan in 2023, conceived by the Fondation Cartier in close collaboration with the artist. It marks a new milestone in an uninterrupted exchange between Ron Mueck and the French institution, that has continued since 2005.
