Description

Earlier this year, The Standard commissioned, Big Kastenmann, currently on at The Standard, Highline through November, 2012. We're excited to present this exclusive edition. Pee on someone's rug (instructions on how to be politically incorrect), 2003. c-print. Dimensions: 23,82 x 30 cm. edition of 100 + 10 AP. "In the series, Instructions on How to Be Politically Incorrect, Wurm tackles our heightened fearfulness following the events of 9/11. Threats on national and international security have made us more sensitive to our personal space and freedoms. An invasion of personal and private space is documented in this work. Wurm seems to be making fun of how much we have accepted intrusion into our private lives. Despite the lightheartedness of this series, these works of art have a serious intent and are a social and political critique of our changing world.". - Lehmann Maupin Gallery, New York City.
