Going out: Art

Erwin Wurm
Thaddaeus Ropac, London, to 13 April
Bulbous and surreal distortions of human flesh are juxtaposed with ghostly statues of empty clothes in this comic sculptor’s work. The one thing Wurm never does is depict humans as we think we know ourselves. Instead, he questions what it is to be a person at all. Are we our costumes? – Jonathan Jones
