Erwin Wurm, Dreamers

The Museo Fortuny presents a major monographic exhibition dedicated to Erwin Wurm, tracing his long-standing exploration of sculpture as a fluid and performative medium. Wurm uses humor and absurdity to question identity, social norms, and the pressures of contemporary life. Spanning multiple floors, the exhibition brings together key works including the One Minute Sculptures, where viewers are invited to activate everyday objects through temporary poses, transforming themselves into sculptures.

Alongside these, series such as Dreamers and Substitutes explore the body through absence, distortion, and anthropomorphic forms, positioning clothing and domestic materials as extensions of human presence. Set within the layered interiors of Palazzo Fortuny, the exhibition establishes a dialogue between Wurm’s unstable, ironic forms and the historical richness of the site.
