find all ten in 1977 instead of years in the Münster Sculpture Project . opened after nearly three years of preparation on 16 June 2007, the exhibition for the fourth time and displays over 105 days to 30 September 2007 positions of 36 artists who have dealt extensively with the city. The rhythm of ten years has been deliberately chosen to carry this long period between the current exhibitions Currents in the art to make visible. For the exhibition, this also means that the name of sculpture projects must always be anchored again. The production of art is done directly on site, shall be so dealt with the mixture of urban location and refers to "citizens" with an active. With this critical issue, the project has since 1977 been localized in the league of major international exhibitions. Among the many projects that deal now with "public art", Münster is not only a pioneer but as the only platform on which constant for 30 years and worked up this subject is timely.
Münster after the thirty-year history of Sculpture Projects no longer just a typical middle-sized German city in which to combine local and universal way of example. Instead, the city holds as well, an historical perspective on the issue. 39 works that have found a permanent place in urban areas are witnessing the last sculpture projects. The city of Muenster is no art to not think. Also for sculpture projects muenster 07 the invited artists were asked again to deal with the city and its circumstances. The thorough penetration of the place and its specific conditions is the reason for the unusually high Quality and amazing uniqueness of the works created here. Starting from the Piazza Duomo, the projects are distributed mainly on the core of the city within the promenade ring. Some projects will leave this framework and be located elsewhere in the city area, for example at Lake Aa and the scientific institutes of the university. For the first time the media were included film and video with more performative works play an important role and the Internet as a public platform for advanced artistic ideas also transported to the urban context.
