The website of Skulptur Projekte 2027 will be launched at the beginning of 2026.
Skulptur Projekte 2027
The Skulptur Projekte, which have taken place every ten years since 1977, have established themselves as a globally significant exhibition that explores the relationship between art and the public. In summer 2027, the sixth edition of Skulptur Projekte will celebrate its 50th anniversary.
Artistic Direction
What, How and for Whom/WHW
The international curatorial collective "What, How and for Whom/WHW", consisting of Sabina Sabolović, Nataša Ilić and Ivet Ćurlin, is the new artistic direction of Skulptur Projekte 2027.
"Following the success of previous editions, we want to further develop the legacy of Skulptur Projekte. To do this, we want to introduce new artistic proposals and ways of thinking that have not yet been seen in Münster. We want to address the social and political tensions of the present through our work with the artists and the city, building on the practices of feminism and collectivism as well as the many previous experiments with public art. How can art in public space today meaningfully address the fragility of democracy, ecology and coexistence? Can it strengthen mutual respect and self-determination? How can we reformulate the pedagogical claim that the Skulptur Projekte have had since their beginnings? These are the questions that will characterise our curatorial journey over the next three years."
