The 6th edition of Skulptur Projekte Münster will take place from 13 June to 3 October 2027. Returning to the city every ten years since its founding in 1977, the coming edition marks the 50th anniversary of the exhibition. Initiated by Klaus Bußmann and Kasper König, Skulptur Projekte redefined art in the public space and has established a deep and lasting engagement with the social fabric of Münster. The next iteration will be directed by the curatorial collective What, How & for Whom / WHW and hosted by the Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe (LWL) and the City of Münster. The exhibition is organized by the LWL-Museum für Kunst und Kultur.

Skulptur Projekte Münster 2027 takes the social, cultural, and political changes, urgencies, and episodes that have marked the past decade as its starting points. From here, it will look forward and outward in time and space, responding to a city and world that stand at a major inflection point. The new edition asks us to listen and learn from a particular place and time, while always considering how they connect and resonate with many other elsewheres. At its core, Skulptur Projekte 2027 affirms art’s poetic, philosophical, and world-making power.
