The first artists and locations have been announced for the fifth edition of Skulptur Projekte Münster, under the artistic direction of Ivet Ćurlin, Nataša Ilić and Sabina Sabolović – founding members of curatorial collective What, How & for Whom (WHW). The edition will run from 13 June to 3 October 2027.

\n\n\n\n

Founded in 1977 by Klaus Bußmann and Kasper König, Skulptur Projekte takes place every ten years in the city of Münster. Prior to WHW, König, who died in 2024, had served as its long-term artistic director. WHW’s appointment will make 2027 the first women-led edition.

\n\n\n\n

The artists and corresponding locations for their works announced so far include:

\n\n\n\n

Iza Tarasewicz (b.1981, Białystok, Poland) at Gut Kinderhaus, a residential area catering for various disabilities and a former farm
Hew Locke (b.1959, Edinburgh, UK) at Haus der Niederlande im Krameramtshaus, the site of the peace treaty negotiations between the Netherlands and Spain, ending the Eighty Years’ War in 1648
Selma Selman (b.1991, Bihać, Bosnia) at the former Hörster Friedhof, a nineteenth-century cemetery
Róza El-Hassan (b.1966, Budapest, Hungary) at both the Botanical Garden behind the Baroque Schloss and in the 1960s-build residential district of Berg Fidel
Oscar Murillo (b.1986, La Paila, Colombia) at the former York-Kaserne, now a Central Accommodation Facility for refugees awaiting processing

\n\n\n\n

“We are interested in exploring how open and accessible the city is to different people and perspectives. We want to shed light on the many ‘cities within the city’, as well as on questions of participation, inclusion, exclusion, and community,’ says WHW’S curatorial statement delivered at this morning’s press conference. “Our conversations with the artists have been inspired by the idea of shared narrations or objects: while each perspective is rooted in the specific, there are connections between many elsewheres and Münster.”

\n\n\n\n

In the buildup to next year’s opening, a pre-programme, Skulptur Projekte Sessions, will include collaborations with various universities, such as the Münster School of Architecture, and the University of Fine Arts Münster, as well as other programmes.
