Hyperrealism. This is not a body
Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec
Bringing together more than 30 sculptures by 25 international artists, the exhibition "Hyperrealism. This is not a body" shows the evolution of the human figure in sculpture since the 1970s. The selection includes works by the leading representatives of hyperrealist sculpture on an international scale – Duane Hanson, George Segal, Ron Mueck, Patricia Piccinini, Maurizio Cattelan, and many others – as well as creations by Quebec artists working in the same spirit. These artists create sculptures of striking realism that confront us with our own humanity, offering some of the most remarkable creations of contemporary sculpture. Their works deal with universal subjects – childhood, old age, solitude – and explore themes of simulacra, genetic manipulation, and self-awareness. Organized by the Institut für Kulturaustausch in Tübingen (Germany), the exhibition has been presented at the National Gallery of Australia, the Kunsthal Rotterdam, the Museo de Bellas Artes in Bilbao, and the Musée Maillol in Paris, among others.
