Erwin Wurm: Dreamers In Venice For the Biennale? Don’t Miss These 15 Shows Around the City

"Erwin Wurm: Dreamers"

Where: Museo Fortuny

When: May 6 – November 22

Why It’s Worth a Look: The Austrian sculptor will be exhibiting his pillowy sculptures for the first time in Italy this May. By appending sculptured legs, arms, and hands to chairs, sweaters, buckets, and fruit, Erwin Wurm playfully interrogates the sculptural qualities of the human form, mundane and changeable.

Know Before You Go: Humor is at the heart of Wurm’s project. His puffy, bloated “Fat Car” series has shown around the globe while his “One-Minute Sculpture” series provided the inspiration for the Red Hot Chili Peppers music video for “Can’t Stop.”
