【Museum Goods】6 Editor's Recommended Goods Found at the 'Ron Mueck' Exhibition (Mori Art Museum)
We introduce 6 original goods from the 'Ron Mueck' exhibition at the Mori Art Museum.Summary
The solo exhibition 'Ron Mueck' by the contemporary sculptor known for his mystical and powerful sculptures will be held at the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo's Roppongi from April 29 to September 23. This is a large-scale solo exhibition, marking the first time in 18 years since his exhibition at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa in 2008. Ahead of the opening, our editorial team has selected and introduced goods that caught our attention. The theme of the exhibition's original goods is 'Big & Small'. This playful lineup translates the 'extreme scale' of Mueck's sculptures, which are made far larger or smaller than actual people, into items for daily use. The exhibition catalog is a substantial volume that includes the artist's own words, an interview with the French photographer and film director Gautier Droubout, and an essay by Kondo Ken'ichi (Adjunct Curator at the Mori Art Museum). It allows readers to carefully trace the trajectory of Mueck's creation, featuring explanations of exhibited works and a visual timeline by era. We highly recommend this catalog for those who wish to take home the lingering atmosphere of the exhibition.
