Additional info:
Erwin Wurm’s artistic practice incorporates sculpture, performance, photography, video, and installation. It is unified by a combination of formal concerns, a sense of humour, and a problematisation of contemporary society. Through humorous and absurd elements, the artist deals with the mentality of progress and the symbols of success, sometimes deforming familiar scenes from everyday life to disturbing levels. Wurm's playful criticism in art has been shown at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; MUMOK, Vienna; the Musée d’Art Contemporain, Lyon; the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; and many other prominent institutions around the world. His works are held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Tate Modern, London; the Albertina, Vienna; Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice; Smart Museum of Art, University of Chicago; Kunsthaus, Zürich; Kunstmuseum, Bonn; Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek; the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis; and many others.
