Skulptur Projekte Münster 2017: Top 5 Works Selected by Artribune

Artribune's editors Massimiliano Tonelli and Marco Enrico Giacomelli review the 2017 edition of Skulptur Projekte Münster, a decennial sculpture exhibition founded 40 years ago by Kasper König. They note that while many works are weak or predictable, the show is still recommended. Their top five picks are: Ayse Erkmen's underwater bridge connecting canal banks in the port area, referencing the Bosphorus; Pierre Huyghe's immersive post-glacial environment inside an ice rink featuring a fish tank, peacocks, algae, bacteria, and beehives; Lara Favaretto's granite "Momentary Monument — The Stone" that functions as a giant piggy bank to be destroyed after the exhibition, with proceeds supporting migrants in deportation detention; Jeremy Deller's decade-long gardening diaries project with 33 volumes from local garden club members; and Hito Steyerl's robotic installation at LBS West palace, accompanied by original music by Kassem Mosse, reflecting on war and computer technology. The article also mentions Nicole Eisenman and Hervé Youmbi for their handling of green areas, and notes that Gregor Schneider's work was not seen due to long waits.
