Description |
Austrian artist Erwin Wurm has gained an international reputation for challenging traditional notions of sculpture, photography, performance art, and drawing. His classic One Minute Sculptures invite audiences to participate in the creation of temporary sculpture by combining their bodies with a variety of common objects according to the artist's instructional drawings. This volume is a comprehensive survey, highlighting more than ten years of Wurm's production. It includes staged situations for the creation of selected One Minute Sculptures; the photo series Instructions for Idleness (2001); Instructions on How to be Politically Incorrect (2002-03); Thinking About Philosophers (2002-04), and Hotel Rooms (2001); along with a selection of videos such as 59 Positions (1992), Flight Simulator (1998), and Adelphi Sculptures (1999). Also featured is the Fat House/I Love My Time, I Don't Like My Time (2003), the latest in Wurm's Fat series that explores the wild and dark potential of digital animation. |
