Erwin Wurm - Narrow Mist.

The sculpture exhibition at the UCCA in Beijing by the Austrian artist Erwin Wurm is featuring the ‘Narrow house’, a piece of art, which might be a reflexion of the artist’s childhood house. A building shrunken only in one axis.

In his work, Wurm continuously digs behind everyday objects: fat cars, fat houses or Wurm’s amazing “one minute sculptures”. Read more about the UCCA exhibition at designboom. For another Wurm house project see "House Attack".

Do it Yourself Facade. Berlin.

autoR (2010) by Carsten Nicolai is the third project realized by the Temporäre Kunsthalle Berlin on its facade. autoR is conceived as a self-organizing process. Visitors actively contribute to the design of the facade by individually applying stickers designed by the artist.

An artwork in phases: first, zero, a blank facade - a contrast to the numerous advertisement images at the Schloßplatz, second, the collective application of the stickers.

A facade of shared authorship: the artist provides the tools and visitors take over the role of the designer.
