EXHIBITION SKULPTUR PROJEKTE

Thirty-five collective gardens, all made by the inhabitants of a small German town, Münster, which represent the sign of a community determined to embrace new lifestyles. And again: walks on the water, to understand how not to waste it, and many stories of families, of good neighborliness, of shared condominiums and strong social relationships. All under the banner of the fight against waste and a new civilization of togetherness.

WHAT IS SKULPTUR PROJEKTE

Every ten years, since 1977, Münster has celebrated Skulptur Projekte, the most important sculpture exhibition in the world, under the sign of change and new lifestyles. This year the artistic director, Kasper König, He has created a path that intersects 35 large new works with some created in previous editions. A truly evocative display of works exhibited primarily outdoors, with a vision of space as a place for interaction with the public, which can be visited throughout the summer, until October 1st.

SCULPTUR PROJEKTE EXHIBITION

Il exhibition itinerary can be easily visited on a horseback bike for rent. In addition to the urban gardens created by citizens, in the city you can see unique works such as the underwater bridge On Water, artist Ayse Erkmen which connects the two banks of the city and allows visitors to walk on the water's edge, or The Stone, made by Italian Lara Favaretto, that is, a large monolith with a slot for coins, removed from its context and to be destroyed after the exhibition, but not before having donated the proceeds to charity. Or the particular work of Pierre Huyghe, a former sports hall where a post-glaciation environment has been recreated, with something resembling a lunar landscape, with inlets, promontories, valleys and wetlands, created thanks to skylights through which rainwater can enter.
