For the inaugural time, an international curatorial collective will oversee The Sculpture Projects 2027 in Münster. The city of Münster and the Westphalia-Lippe Regional Authority (LWL) revealed this information on a Wednesday. The curatorial duties for the sixth installment will be assumed by Ivet Ćurlin, Nataša Ilić, and Sabina Sabolović, belonging to the collective "What, How and for Whom/WHW."
Previously, for the first five runnings of the exhibition displaying contemporary art in public areas, Kasper König served as the artistic director. He had declared his intention to retire from the post in 2017. Unfortunately, König passed away on August 9, at the age of 80.
