奥地利雕塑家Erwin Wurm在维也纳一座18世纪宫殿外的草坪上设计建造了一个“肥胖的房子”。

Wurm在2003年首先创建了“肥胖的房子”，用于反映中产阶级消费文化。这座房子现在在维多利亚时期最重要的巴洛克式建筑之一——贝尔维迪尔德宫殿外展出。

An "obese house" by Austrian sculptor Erwin Wurm has been installed on the lawn outside an 18th-century palace in Vienna.
Wurm first created the Fat House in 2003, as a commentary on middle-class consumer culture. It is now on show outside the Upper Belvedere, one of Vienna's most important examples of baroque architecture.

这座七米高的雕塑形式与传统的郊区房屋相似，配有平铺瓷砖屋顶、门洞和两侧窗户。但它的墙壁看起来膨胀得更像是脂肪，并不像建筑结构。

这些凸起表面使用聚苯乙烯制成，其中包裹着金属框架。

The seven-metre-high sculpture is similar in form to a conventional suburban house, with a pitched tile-clad roof, a central door and windows either side. But its walls appear to have swollen out, so they look more like fatty flesh than an architectural structure.
These bulging surfaces were created using polystyrene, which wraps a metal framework.
 

63岁的Wurm是奥地利最着名的当代艺术家之一，在今年被选为威尼斯艺术双年展奥地利国家馆的策展人之一。其最著名的作品是“一分钟雕塑”，这个雕塑在Red Hot Chili Peppers音乐影片中颇具特色。

Wurm, 63, is one of Austria's best-known contemporary artists. Best known for works like his One Minute Sculptures, which featured in a Red Hot Chili Peppers music video, he was this year selected as one of the curators of Austria's national pavilion at the Venice Art Biennale.

他目前正在21er Haus展示他最新的雕塑系列，这是一个位于与Belvedere宫殿同一花园的当代艺术博物馆。这个展览展出了他在过去六年中创作的54幅粘土雕塑和雕像。

画廊希望去年为Belvedere收购的这座“肥胖的房子”能够吸引更多的人参观。

He is currently showing his latest sculpture series at 21er Haus, a contemporary art museum located in the same gardens as the Belvedere palaces. Called Performative Sculptures, the exhibition features 54 clay sculptures and statues he has created over the past six years.
The gallery hopes that Fat House, which was acquired for the Belvedere collection last year, will entice more people to visit the show.

该结构将一直保留到2017年9月10日，在这之前免费开放，开放时间：上午10点至下午6点。

在内部，游客可以观看一部纪录片展示Wurm和合作者Brigitte Kowanz准备威尼斯双年展的过程。

The structure will remain in place until 10 September 2017, and is free to enter between 10am and 6pm every day.
Inside, visitors can watch a movie documentary showing Wurm and collaborator Brigitte Kowanz preparing for the Venice Biennale.
