Tender Tender, Michael Dean (Newcastle) artwork for Skulptur Projekte Münster 2017

This is another of the remarkable works in 2017 projekte. How to fill a big atrium with all kind of rubbish, achieve that experts call it “art”, and get paid for it. Think abou it. It is not easy at all.  And I visited it twice! 2016 Turner Prize nominee Michael Dean takes over the atrium of the museum. He draped semi-transparent plastic sheets around the square space, creating a room within a room. Using peepholes, visitors can look at the sculptures inside the room. To enter the atrium, you have to take a walk around the historic halls. Michael Dean used materials from the streets, like rubbish, plastic, and concrete, to create an installation around an abstract semiotic system. https://www.skulptur-projekte.de/#/En/Projects/2017/822/DEAN

On Water (Auf dem Wasser), Ayşe Erkmen’s (Istanbul) artwork for Skulptur Projekte Münster 2017

Following with the recent impressions in Münster, this is one of the interesting works to see and to experiment. Besides the official descriptions, this is a work that generates a variety of suggestions. Depending on the point of view you see people walking on water. Or you may recall the refugees phenomenon, that have to go through water to go from one place to another. Anyway it is a remarkable piece of art that requires that you put your feet into water to fully appreciate it. On Water (Auf dem Wasser) is the title of Ayşe Erkmen’s artwork for Skulptur Projekte Münster 2017. For Skulptur Projekte 2017, Erkmen selected Münster’s inland harbour as her location. Just below the surface of the water between the bustling Nordkai (northern pier) and the industrialized Südkai (southern pier) she installed a jetty that links the two riverbanks. It creates the impression that visitors are

Pierre Huyghe’s After ALife Ahead (2017) at Skulptur Projekte Münster: augmented reality

This is for shure the most impressive work of Skulptur Projekte Münster 2017, and the most expensive one, and it’ll be destroyed after Octobert the 1st. A work including cancer cells, snails, algae, concrete, bees, mud, software and many other elements. While touring possible locations for his contribution to the 2017 Skuptur Projekte in Münster, Germany, late last year, the 54-year-old French artist found one such site, a sprawling, old ice-skating rink, no longer in use, tucked behind a Burger King on the edge of town. “This place will be destroyed, so I could actually act on it as I wanted,” he said, recalling what attracted him to the space in a Skype call from Brooklyn last week. Huyghe has transformed that abandoned rink into one of the most formidable and mysterious artworks that I have ever seen, an alien environment that seems secretly to teem with life and that
