Reparaturgesellschaft: Eight Artists Repair Münster's Wewerka Pavilion
From July 1 to August 2, 2026, the Wewerka Pavilion in Münster, Germany, showcased the exhibition 'Reparaturgesellschaft,' under the curation of Jonas Roßmeißl. The event featured works from eight artists associated with Kunstakademie Münster: Rieke Albertin, Yooyoung An, Leona Egelkamp, Maurice Fey, Finn Frohöse, Max Hedderich, Suyeon Prana Kim, and Junsun Park. Although the pavilion has been closed to the public due to regulations, it has faced the elements. The participating artists examined the pavilion's deterioration, delving into themes of authorship, ownership, and usage. A curatorial note referenced a 1988 inquiry by Sabine Maria Schmidt regarding the pavilion's identity. Photographer Hyesung Ryu documented the exhibition, encouraging viewers to imagine transformation amidst contradictions.
