2017年12月15日开始，维多利亚国家展览馆将为32个国家的100多件创意作品敞开大门。澳大利亚的Ron Mueck不仅是艺术家、设计师、技术人员、建筑师、动画师，更是一个写实主义的雕刻家，他展示了自己至今为止规模最大的作品。Mass是由100个人类头骨组合而成的艺术品，它们堆叠在展厅的地板上，每一个元素都与作品的结构相关。

Beginning December 15, 2017, the inaugural national gallery of Victoria will open its doors to the work of over 100 creatives from 32 countries. Among the artists, designers, technologists, architects, animators, and beyond is Australian hyperrealist sculptor Ron Mueck, who is presenting his largest ever work to date. ‘Mass’ is an installation of 100 individual human skull forms piled up on the gallery floor, each which engage with the architecture of the site.

Mass是对死亡的悲观研究，也是Mueck超雕塑实践理念的延伸，每个元素从生物的头骨结构中提取，被他视为非凡的人性。艺术设施让人想起巴黎地下墓穴中的遗迹，一面雄伟的人头墙让人从内心产生共鸣，获得无常、永恒的奇秒感受。对于Mass，Mueck 颂扬这种联系全人类的形式，这种符号基本上代表了所有文化和宗教中的艺术，Mueck向它致敬。头骨差不多包围了每面墙壁，似乎在提醒游客生命的短暂。

维多利亚国际展览馆将免费开放至2018年4月18日。

A somber study of mortality, and an extension of Mueck’s hyperrealistic sculptural practice, ‘Mass’ draws from the biological structure of the skull, regarded by him as extraordinary facets of humanity. The installation brings to mind the massed remains in the catacombs of Paris, an imposing wall of human heads that resonates with a simultaneous and strange sense of impermanence and eternality. In ‘Mass’, Mueck celebrates the form that links all humanity, and pays homage to a symbol that has stood within the art of essentially all cultures and religion. Surrounded by skulls covering nearly every surface of the walls, visitors are reminded of the transience of life.
The national gallery of Victoria runs from now through April 18, 2018 and is a free exhibition.
