There's a gentle playfulness and absurdity to Erwin Wurm's work that I love, and I was lucky enough to meet the artist at his recent exhibition at Thaddaeus Ropac in Dover Street, London.

As well as physical sculptures and a large collection of his drawings on display at the gallery, he also had a plinth in which members of the gallery going public could participate and become part of his ongoing 'One Minute Sculpture' project. Here's a Polaroid (which Mr Wurm kindly signed for me) of me taking part.

But this is not the first time that I encountered Mr Wurm, or his One Minute Sculpture series. Here are some photos of me having fun at his exhibition in the Austrian Pavilion during the last Venice Biennale in 2017.
