Ron Mueck Performance “Quotient”
Ron Mueck Related Program
Conducted in Japanese
Through dance and music, this performance will expand the viewing experience of Mueck’s work on multiple levels. The title, which refers to the quotient (the quantity produced by the division of two numbers) symbolizes the correlation that emerges between sculpture and performance, and between the two performers. The performance will express the perceptions and emotions stirred by a sculpture’s intricate depictions and diverse sense of scale, aiming to provide an opportunity for viewers to reexamine the relationship between the work and the bodies, and even their own existence itself.

Matsumaru Kei
Born in 1995 and from Papua New Guinea, Matsumaru is a saxophonist and composer. He taught himself to play the saxophone in his village and, after graduating from a music conservatory in the US, in 2018 he returned to Tokyo and has been based there since, performing both domestically and internationally.
While performing and recording with a wide range of artists and bands, Matsumaru regularly presents long-form compositions in live settings. His solo work includes electronic-based sets and his “Dokusō” project—90-minute solo improvisations that explore the intersection of space, time, and the physical body.
In September 2025, he released his unaccompanied saxophone solo album, Dokusō, YūYū, on LP.
