2017 Münster Sculpture Projects Expands to Nearby City of Marl

By Alyssa Buffenstein, Dec 15, 2016

The Skulptur Projekte (sculpture projects) provide a platform for commissioned artists to create works of temporary public art. This year, the artists were invited by artistic director König, freelance curator Britta Peters, and curator at the LWL Museum für Kunst und Kultur in Münster, Marianne Wagner.

“Its realization at generous ten-year intervals makes the exhibition not only a special event, but also a ‘long-term study’ between the poles of art and the public sphere,” reads a statement from the Skulptur Projekte.

For the first time in its 40-year history, the exhibition will expand to the nearby city of Marl, in a two-city cooperation that will center on the exchange of sculptures, and short residencies of participating artists in each city.
