Erwin Wurm was born in 1954 in Bruck an der Mur, Austria. He currently lives and works in Vienna, Austria. Expanding the concept of sculpture since the 1980's, Erwin Wurm delves into the zeitgeist to approach subjects too often dealt with in a serious manner. He integrates architecture, video, found objects, photography and the museum-goer into his absurd and refreshingly unique sculptural practice. He has held solo shows around the world, including most recently the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus, Munich, the Essl Museum, Vienna, The Kunstmuseum, Bonn, the MUMOK, Vienna, the Palais de Tokyo, Paris, the Contemporary Art Center, Cincinnati and the Drawing Center, New York. He has participated in group shows in China at the China Millennium Art Museum in 2005 and at the Shanghai Art Museum in 2001. This is the artist's first solo show in China.
