Owen Worm likes to rebuild and define the world in front of us with artistic media such as architecture, sculpture, installation and performance. You can think of this as a humor, accompanied by fun and a trace of naughty, but this is hidden behind the artist's great curiosity about the whole human world. He is very interactive and participatory works, so that people immersive and take the initiative to think, who is the idol, who is the work. Of course, he will let you inadvertently find: people in the community are always wrapped in anxiety and consumed

Erwin Wurm is a contemporary Austrian artist working across media with a critical approach to visualizing present-day life. Often featuring comic or absurdist elements in his mix of sculpture, painting, performance, video, and photography, the artist acknowledges that “[for me] humor is primarily a method for getting people’s attention—it should ultimately prompt people to look at things more carefully,” and places the viewer’s engagement as the most important ingredient in his art. Born in 1954 in Bruck an der Mur, Austria, Wurm follows in the tradition of Joseph Beuys with ideas around “social sculpture” with his popular One Minute Sculptures series of short performance pieces, inviting audience participation and interaction in a manner similar to Ernesto Neto’s immersive installations.
是“荒谬”观念艺也是大胆的Fluxus 流派拥护者。欧文·沃姆从20 世纪80 年代起，开始推出他的雕塑概念。在漫长的15年中，不停的探讨、实施并企图让雕塑的定义更为宽泛。在什么时候和场景下让我们认为这是雕塑？为什么这是雕塑？为什么这不是雕塑？这些问题徘徊在他的作品左右，展开的讨论和启发是广泛的。他将建筑、影像、现成品、摄影、美术馆的参观者，整合融入到荒诞而令人耳目一新的互动雕塑中。进行“一分钟雕塑”的系列创作。通过这些幽默好玩的作品，以一种轻松的方式进入，不需要严肃看待，不需要认真考虑，这是他作品的最核心。
欧文·沃姆喜欢用建筑、雕塑、装置和表演等艺术媒介重新构建和定义我们眼前的世界。你可以认为这是幽默，伴随着趣味和一丝顽皮，但这背后藏着的是艺术家对整个人类世界巨大的好奇心。他极富互动参与性的作品，让人们身临其境并主动地思考，谁是偶像，谁是作品。当然，他也会让你在不经意间发现：人们在社会中时刻都包裹在焦虑之中并且被消费着。“解决问题的方法是深入浅出。谁说解决严肃的问题就不能有轻松的方式？”显然欧文·沃姆很自信，“我想用我的艺术作品影响更多的人。”
自上世纪80年代末，欧文·沃姆就开始发展一系列“一分钟雕塑”。他让自己或模特在意想不到的场景或日常的物件中摆好为时一分钟的姿势，于此挑起观众们对雕塑定义的质疑。他希望能利用最“简短的小路”来制作雕塑；一种直接快速的、有时还幽默的表达方式。就好象这些雕塑是短暂的、自然发生并暂时的，而它的形象只能被摄影或录像捕获。
