Fosun Foundation is set to unveil the Erin Wurm solo exhibition “Dreamwalkers,” presenting the artist’s acclaimed “One Minute Sculptures” series, first begun in the 1990s, alongside creations using clothing, food, and other readily available everyday objects touching on the conceptual boundaries of sculpture. “Dreamwalkers” not only refers to those neurotic bodies or emptied shells of clothing in Wurm's creations, but also stands as a humorous implied “invitation” sent out to the viewer—an invitation to become the subject of the sculpture, to step into Wurm's absurd scenarios to break conventions and utilitarian canons and processes in order to release the individual from its frozen state between the isolation and fervor of social tension.

At a time when most human-made things, including art, have been striving for a monumental perpetuity, the “One Minute Sculptures” embody Wurm's resistance against “manufactured reason” and emphasize that sculpture is not just heavy, steady, and static. But in fact, the public's photos of these “One Minute Sculptures” have already spread like a virus across social media networks. Bizarre interactions are the key to the post-Internet era and its basic language. These infinitely copied and dispersed virtual images are more eternal than any substantive existence. This exhibition will present a trove of Polaroid photographs Wurm shot for the “One Minute Sculptures” series, a spontaneous archive of folly. The use of Polaroids, with their vintage feel, for documentation, reveals another approach to transforming the fleeting into the eternal.
