Related Topics:

The work has a tactile, spread out effect ("Tom friedman," 2010). It is like a scratch and sniff, one view and that is it. Erwin Wurm

In the case of Erwin Wurm, the artist has developed a series of what he calls "One Minute Sculptures." In them, he poses himself or one or more of his models in unexpected relationships in close combination with everyday objects close by. This prompts the viewer to question their very definition of what sculpture consists of. Wurm sought to use what he termed the "shortest path" in the creation of a sculpture. He wanted a clear and fast (at times humorous) variant of artistic expression. The sculptures that he created are fleeting and they are meant to be temporary and spontaneous. The images the he captured were only on film or in photography. A good of such a wok is Wurm's is Fat Convertible which is a plastic covering over a care (Syed, 2009). It is a commentary on our obese society.

In the short essay, the author chose one specific artwork example by each of the artists and the briefly described and interpreted each artwork. Then, they made main points from the set of criteria for art from and used it to evaluate these three works of art. The author then focused upon how each may/may not satisfy the definition of art. We examined how conventional art criteria needs to be reconsidered and rearticulated to accommodate these artworks. All of these works of art were pointing to realities in the outside world and showing that art was where one found it.
