Erwin Wurm, Wear Me Out
Wear Me Out is a publication centered on the work of Austrian contemporary artist Erwin Wurm, known for his playful, provocative explorations of everyday objects and bodily presence.
The book typically accompanies exhibitions or thematic surveys of Wurm’s work and focuses on the concept of “wear” as a metaphor and artistic device — how objects and bodies interact, conform, transform, and erode through use and repetition.
The title Wear Me Out suggests a thematic focus on the process of exhaustion, transformation, and physical engagement, which are recurring concerns in Wurm’s practice. His works often invite the viewer to consider the body not merely as a subject of representation, but as a site of action, change, and absurdity. This publication brings together images, critical texts, and essays that contextualize Wurm’s sculptural and performative strategies.
