There's a wurm at the bottom of the garden and we got wiggly at the largest sculpture park in Europe. We chat about bodies, bums and bloody tomfoolery at one of our favourite places to see art AND one of our favourite artists. Aren't we lucky baby duckies. Enjoy!
Here's the craic, make some time to visit this, it's ace:
Erwin Wurm: Trap of the Truth
Sat 10 Jun 2023 – Sun 28 Apr 2024
Underground Gallery, Outdoors
Trap of the Truth features more than 100 works, including 55 sculptures indoors, 19 sculptures in the landscape, paintings, photographs, videos and drawings created over 30 years of the artist’s career. Several works are being shown for the first time.
Erwin Wurm (b.1954) is one of Austria’s most prominent artists, highly regarded for his 2017 Austrian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. Over three decades he has challenged the rules of sculpture, the limitations of the human body, and its relationship to the spaces we inhabit. His work disrupts perceptions of the familiar and sensible and in a process that abounds with humour and experimentation, he frequently reimagines commonplace objects by giving them human characteristics. Wurm ponders what sculpture is and what it can be, stretching its boundaries, and calling into question the value and importance we place on everyday objects. He is both playful and political, using ludicrous scenarios to create work that addresses how we conform to society’s demands and how sculpture can upend cultural beliefs.
