“My videos, photos and books—they’re all sculptures, without exception.” (Erwin Wurm)
Erwin Wurm is not only the most well-known Austrian artist, but is currently among the world's nine most influential contemporary artists on the international rankings, preceding artists such as Ai WeiWei or Damien Hirst. This year, besides the presentation in Budapest, his works will be exhibited in six different locations from Switzerland to the United States. His lightweight, articulate (or scandalous) sculptures have become popular worldwide for laymen and professionals. Erwin Wurm is a true star today, who conquers the audience with his works.
Wurm seeks answers to such questions as what turns an object, especially an object of utility, into a sculpture. How does a giant cardboard box become an overcoat, and what is the role of the spectator in the process of turning an object into a sculpture? His works refuse to satisfy expectations regarding the genre, as their creator attempts to fundamentally reshape the general approach to sculpture. Wurm’s first large-scale exhibition in Budapest features a comprehensive selection of his conceptually distinct series of sculptures and creations. Besides his photo- and video-based works, his transmogrified furniture-sculptures, clothing and performative sculptures, but also his artistic wallpapers and drawings will be put on display.
