For his One-minute sculptures, Erwin Wurm has choreographed people and objects in awkward – even dangerous – positions, which can be maintained only for short periods of time. The constructions proposed by these works are both humorous and, at their moment of completion, surprisingly elegant. Each situation dissipates as participants become bored, or as precariously balanced objects (including bikes, buckets and broomsticks) come unstuck. Wurm ensures that duration, gravity and stamina are essential elements of his sculptural performances, which also incorporate the uniquely human experiences of embarrassment and failure. Absurd and often funny, the artist’s assemblages imply an inventor using whatever is at hand to build their eccentric constructions.
