Aprašymas

Known for redefining the boundaries of sculpture through irony, performance and the absurd, Erwin Wurm (1954) has built a career exploring the relationship between body, object and social behaviour - from his famous One Minute Sculptures to his distorted houses and anthropomorphic forms. Published on the occasion of the exhibition at Museo Fortuny in Venice, this monograph documents Erwin's extraordinary artistic practice related to clothing and conveys his philosophy and aesthetic with intellectual depth and visual refinement. Through essays by Elisabetta Barisoni and Cristina Daroit, compelling imagery, and a contemporary graphic design, the volume engages readers and art enthusiasts in a deeper understanding of the work of this major contemporary figure. The monograph retraces the artist's solo exhibition at Palazzo Fortuny, which unfolds within the historic rooms of the building, creating a dialogue between contemporary sculpture and Fortuny's rich legacy of textiles, light, theatre, and experimentation. It delves into themes of clothing, presence, and absence, presenting sculptural "garments" and enclosures that evoke the human body through the interplay of form and void.
