❙ Where does fashion stop and art begin? Erwin Wurm and Walter Van Beirendonck
explore the border zone
Austrian artist Erwin Wurm (* 1954)
works with videos, drawings, sculp -
tures, photos, and installations
that take on anything but traditional
forms. In his One Minute
Sculptures, which marked Wurm’s
international breakthrough, he
used simple instructional drawings
to invite viewers to themselves
become sculptures. The artist also
throws his own body into the battle
by sculpting it with many layers
of clothing or subjecting it to an
extreme diet. He extended the
idea of a voluminous body to lifeless
objects such as cars and houses.
Wurm's perplexing and often
extremely ironic works have made
him an extremely popular artist.
The artist’s book presents Wurm’s
latest work: furniture, drawings,
outdoor sculptures, and—for the
first time—clothing, developed in
collaboration with the innovative
Belgian fashion designer Walter
Van Beirendonck.
