The artist-owned site also lists Dreamers among Erwin Wurm's 2026 exhibition views. It confirms the Venice presentation alongside shows in New York, London, Vienna and Liberec.
Why the show matters
The Venice exhibition extends a long sculptural practice built around the body, everyday objects and instruction-based form. Wurm has used absurdity and scale shifts to make sculpture feel unstable, temporary and oddly human.
The Fortuny project fits that language closely. The museum describes the show as a dialogue with Mariano Fortuny's historic palazzo and with Wurm's recurring tension between presence and absence.
