Kurzbeschreibung
Von der fast fünf Meter hohen Skulptur Boy des in London lebenden Künstlers Ron Mueck (*1958 in Melbourne) zeigten sich die Besucher der Biennale von Venedig im Jahr 2001 sehr beeindruckt. Harald Szeemann nannte die Plastik »die Sphinx der Ausstellung«; sie wurde schnell zu deren Wahrzeichen. Die monumentale, kauernde Figur eines Jugendlichen wirkt verletzlich, abwehrend, und doch scheint ihrem wachsamen Blick nichts zu entgehen.
Muecks menschliche Figuren sind stets technisch perfekt, absolut realistisch, bewusst unter- oder überformatig. Er modelliert sie zunächst in Ton und nimmt dann eine Hohlform ab, die er mit Silikon oder Fiberglas füllt. Die fertigen Modelle haben feinste Äderchen, einzelne sichtbare Härchen, scheinen zu atmen. Ihre Perfektion dient jedoch immer dem Transport von Inhalten: Die Emotionalität von Figuren wie Pregnant Woman oder Dead Dad - vom Künstler nach dem Tod seines Vaters geschaffen, berührt den Betrachter und stimmt ihn nachdenklich. Muecks Skulpturen sind von großer Präsenz, autonom. Von menschlicher Gestalt und doch künstlich verweisen sie auf grundsätzliche Fragen, lassen vielfältige Assoziationen zu.
Ausstellung: Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum der Gegenwart, Berlin 10.9.-2.11.2003

Synopsis
Mueck's human figures are always technically perfect, absolutely realistic, deliberately undersized or oversized. He first models them in clay and then takes a hollow cast of which he fills with silicone or fibreglass. The finished models show delicate networks of veins, fine hairs, they even seem to breathe. Viewers are touched and set thinking by the emotional quality of figures like "Pregnant Woman" or "Dead Dad" - created by the artist after the death of his father. Mueck dazzled the public at the Venice Biennale in 2001 with his five metre tall sculpture "Boy". Harald Szeemann called the sculpture "the sphinx of the exhibition", and it soon became its landmark. The monumental, crouching figure of a youth makes a vulnerable, defensive impression, and yet, its watchful eye seems to miss nothing.

sculpture blended with photography, and a lot of sense
12. März 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Even since the sixties the idea of getting into a form sculpture able to depict reality in such and instance that can mistake the eye, and play with the mimesis notion in such a way, perception by all means get deceived, has been explored.
In the contemporary work of Mueck this ideas get totally unbounded in a body of work that is a continuos surprise and further more a challenge to visual perception, psycological perception and emotive perception. Just imagine an enormous photograph of a child enhanced to be several meters high. you do? now make it in 3d.., that is what we are talking here.
Children of several floors, gigantic babies, tiny old ladies, make a powerful discourse about a sculpture much more next to a very 'photoshopized' image, even the shworooms look like and art piece with the Muecks in them.
In a world were the shallow and empty conceptual art is everywhere is really refreshing to see this guy work.
This book about the australian artist is in english and german, and contains apart from many if not all of his work in color, a catalogue raisonne list of all his produced work to the date of publication 2005.
Since I really have no interest in today's empty and pretentious art -instalation, conceptual and all those things, you know, that should bare a sign at the enter of the galleries: 'don't drive heavy machinery..' because of their boring charachteristics- normally my shopping list is only of photo books.
But this art book is something so beautiful, that even if you are not an 'art lover' -remember Mueck as the author of many cinema effects like 'Labyrint' prosthetics before becoming a force in the art world- you can have hours of joy and poetic interaction through images full of tenderness, mistery and force.

Weird but captivating

No book could do justice to seeing Mueck's art in person (for example, the unnatural scales of his sculptures can't be captured in a photograph), but for the Mueck fan, this is a great book. The photos are excellent and the text is informative.

Lovely photos, a little short on technique though.

As a fan of Ron Mueck's work, I was happy to see a compilation of his entire catalog (through 2005), along with information on his exhibitions, as well as permanent displays where selected pieces can be found.
The brief bio was interesting, as I had no idea of his personal background prior to reading it. However, as a student of sculpture, and a curious person in general, I was a bit disappointed with the lack of mention as to his process. I realize he isn't likely to divulge his entire body of technical knowledge to the general public, but a little more insight into it besides "he uses cast fiberglass resins" would've been wonderful.
All things considered, a great art book and conversation piece.
