Ron Mueck
 Hyper-realistic sculptures
 Ron Mueck takes over the whole Fondation Cartier with his hyper-realistic sculptures for the seconde times after 2005 exhibition. The Australian artist reveals three works created for the occasion, as well as six other recent works. His human figures seem more than lifelike, reflecting Mueck’s almost obsessive attention to detail and his fascination with the conflict between the living and its imitation. A new film accompanies this spellbinding journey to discover the creation secrets of these unique art works.

The French Open
 Roland Garros Tennis Tournament
 The Roland-Garros tennis tournament in the spring is the world mecca of ground tennis, it is one of the key ATP competitions with Flushing Meadows, Wimbledon and Melbourne.
It was here that great players such as Borg, Graf, Wilander, Lendl, Kuerten and Nadal made their debut and here that spectators experienced some of the most exciting and spectacular matches in tennis history.
Clay courts slow the ball down and produce a high bounce when compared to grass and synthetic courts. As such, over the years, clay court specialists have evolved who often succeed here whilst higher ranked players may struggle.
One of the highly selective foursome of Grand Slam tournaments...
