RON MUECK

Ron Mueck is the largest exhibition by the artist ever to be seen in Australia, and comprises sculptures drawn from across the globe, most never before seen in Australia. At its heart is a new immersive work created for the occasion, with the working title Fighting dogs. Enigmatic, menacing and intense, this is a monumental work of disquieting power that draws us in to an intimate and ominous space.

This exhibition invites the viewer to form relationships with Mueck’s sculptures through encounters that are viscerally physical. Drawing the artist’s past sculptures into dialogue with the new, the show reflects on the sensitivity and significance of Mueck’s work within our tense and anxious contemporary times.

The exhibition is accompanied by an illustrated publication, exploring the evolution of Mueck’s practice and celebrating the development of Fighting dogs.

A Sydney-exclusive for summer 2025–26, Ron Mueck is the first significant solo exhibition on home soil in over a decade by this popular Australian artist – and the first in Sydney since 2003.

This exhibition is part of Sydney International Art Series, made possible with the support of the NSW Government through its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW.
