Erwin Wurm's invention of the One Minute Sculpture has brought a new aspect to the definiton of sculpture art. Wurm's series revolves around himself and his models posing in relationship with everyday objects. Wurm states that he "seeks to use the shortest path in creating a sculpture-a clear and fast, sometimes humorous, form of expression." I was drawn to the temporary nature of Wurm's work, how one minute it is there and the next it is gone. I also like how Wurm is interested in what surrounds him, the objects he sees everyday and how they can be considered art if looked at from a different light. I think that Wurm is successful in expanding our definitions of art an showing that something we may come in contact with everyday can also be made into art if we forget about our preconceived notions of what that object is or does.
