Sculpture. Projects in Münster 1997 lives up to the tradition of the previous exhibitions of 1977 and 1987: the projects present sculpture and art in public space, tuned in to the most contemporary discussions. While during the 1977 exhibition, a retrospective of the history of sculpture in the 20th-century was necessary in order to develop a prospect of the newest tendencies, the sculpture projects of 1987 constituted an internationally-debated, ambitious attempt to give art a place in the cityscape, as well as in the history and sociology of public life.
On the basis of these standards and of the experience of twenty years of art in public space, the changed conditions and possibilities of an aesthetic intervention outside of the museum are again examined in Münster in 1997. In this way the Sculpture. Projects in Münster 1997 is the attempt to simultaneously assess the past and to see into the future.
Images of works in the present catalogue are accompanied by artist statements. Artist biographies are also provided.
