Ron Mueck Life, death, suffering, longing, loneliness and desire Hyper-Realistic Sculptures2011.10.30 Discussions Ron Mueck & Maurizio Cattelant Ron MueckRon Mueck Discussions Ron Mueck & Maurizio Cattelant Ron MueckRon Mueck Maurizio Cattelan, XXIV Maggio, 2004 Walter Benjamin space Location Putting on a show of Muecks work is an outsized challenge for a gallery,as Richard Calvocoressi, the director of the Scottish National Gallery ofModern Art, explains. You need the space, he says, simply. Each work is such a one-off, its quite difcult to include more than one ortwo in each room. For other artists that make realist sculptures, the pointof their work is for them to be mistaken for real people; thats not the casewith Mueck. Each of the artists sculptures is smaller or larger than thereal thing.
