ArtReview Publishes Unconventional Guide to Skulptur Projekte Münster 2017
Instead of a conventional review, Sam Korman, the associate editor of ArtReview, crafted an unofficial user’s guide during his visit to Skulptur Projekte Münster, a public sculpture exhibition in Germany that debuted in 2017. This guide provides experiential insights for interacting with numerous installations, such as Pierre Huyghe's After ALive Ahead (2017), John Knight's water level, Ayşe Erkmen's On Water (2017), Jeremy Deller's Speak to the Earth and It Will Tell You (2007-2017), Oscar Tuazon's Burn the Formwork (2017), Ei Arakawa's Harsh Citation, Harsh Pastoral, Harsh Münster (2017), Nicole Eisenman's Sketch for a Fountain (2017), Mika Rottenberg's Cosmic Generator (2017), Emeka Ogboh's Passage through Moondog / Quiet Storm (2017), Hito Steyerl's HellYeahWeFuckDie (2017), and Michael Smith's Not Quite Under_Ground (2017). This guide was made available online on June 23, 2017.
