Erwin Wurm: When art becomes an absurdity of everyday life!

Francisco Carolinum, Linz, Österreich - The Linz art company is all about innovative Erwin Wurm! From March 7 to September 9, 2025, a fascinating exhibition of his works will be presented in the Francisco Carolinum. Wurm, which is one of the internationally valued contemporary artists in Austria, revolutionized the understanding of sculpture in the 1980s and 1990s. When ooe.orf.at , the irony often plays a central role in Wurms, while he deals with the absurdities of everyday life. His “one minute sculptures” actively integrate visitors into the work of art by performing simple tasks and thus becoming part of a short -lived but impressive experience.

The exhibition not only shows photos of sculptural actions, but also collages and contact deductions that give a rare insight into Wurm's artistic thinking. His works, which often appear humorous, like the "Fat Cars" and the "Tiny Houses", critically question the consumer society and its effects. "The normal view of the world is already absurd enough," says Wurm, who reminds that the consideration of art also requires a change of perspective. He calls this connection between photography and action "Photographic Sculptures", such as Erwinwurm.com underlines.
