Skulptur Projekte Münster
In the summer of 2017, Münster will be the venue of the Skulptur Projekte for the fifth time. The renowned major exhibition with its globally unique concept has been taking place at regular ten-year intervals since 1977. The curatorial team, presently made up of Kasper König, Britta Peters and Marianne Wagner, invites artists from many nations to investigate the relationship between art, the public realm, and the urban environment and develop new, site-specific works. Selected projects are realized in the urban space and activate its historical, architectural, social, political and aesthetic contexts. At the same time, the projects point beyond the specific place: in the current edition of the show, themes related to the global present and reflections on the concept of sculpture are as much an integral part of the artistic explorations as deliberations on the relationship between public and private space in times of increasing digitalization. From 10 June to 1 October 2017, approximately thirty new artistic concepts covering a spectrum from classical sculpture to performance art will inscribe themselves into the urban space of Münster. The international art event draws visitors from all over the world. Admission is free.
