Solo exhibition

Albertina Museum, Vienna

13.09.2024 - 09.03.2025

In his artistic method, Erwin Wurm examines the concept of the sculptural, introducing it as a yardstick by which to gauge our contemporary world. The boundaries between traditional concepts of sculpture, performance, photography or painting are called into question, just as statics and movement within a work of art are redefined.

Wurm overturns the habitual perception of the reality that surrounds us and, with his artworks, opens up opportunities to raise new perspectives and questions: What happens if I disregard gravity, what if houses start melting away or are squashed by performative interventions? How do bodies and spaces behave when the absurd and paradoxical has room to exist in them? How can you, in the One Minute Sculptures, become part of a work of art for a brief moment, and how does that feel?
