Sculpture Biennale Münsterland

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sculpture Biennale Münsterland was a joint project by cultural institutions from the four Münsterland districts of Borken , Coesfeld , Steinfurt and Warendorf in 1999, 2001, 2003 and 2005. These biennials were each designed to address scenic, architectural or historical features using contemporary art .

background

In the 1990s, four cultural institutions from the districts of Münsterland joined together in a project to present sculptures in public space in a six-year project. The Münsterland Gallery was represented for the Coesfeld district , the Rheine Culture Forum represented the Steinfurt district, the Beckum City Museum represented the Warendorf district and the Künstlerdorf Schöppingen Foundation represented the Borken district.

The sculpture Biennale Münsterland should in content links to the 1977, 1987 and 1997, every ten years in Münster carried out event Skulptur.Projekte instead of the urban habitat have the landscape on stand and in contrast to these events.

The four biennials were supposed to close the time gap between the event held in Münster in 1997 and the follow-up date expected in 2007 and therefore took place every two years from 1999 onwards.

The four biennials

1999

The Coesfeld district hosted the first Sculpture Biennale in Münsterland in 1999. Contemporary sculptures were presented in close spatial connection to water castles and palaces.

Florian Matzner and Barbara Engelbach were in charge of the first segment . Locations of the eight sculptures were Nordkirchen , Westerwinkel and Vischering Castle .

The installations of the first segment were removed from their locations after the end of the biennale and can no longer be found there today.

2001

In 2001 the sculpture Biennale Münsterland took place in the Steinfurt district. The event was curated by Christoph Tannert from Berlin. The following artists were involved:

† The installations by these artists no longer exist at the original location.

The central theme of the event was "Münsterland cultural landscape". A total of 21 artists from twelve countries designed 28 projects, which were initially presented in models, photos and text in the Münsterland Gallery . “Local” artists were deliberately not allowed in, in order to allow artists who did not come from the region to have a look at the Münsterland cultural landscape.

Twelve of the submitted designs were selected for implementation by a jury. The sculptures should take up the diverse facets of the Münsterland cultural landscape and be site-specific.

2003

The third sculpture Biennale Westmünsterland took place from June 29th to October 5th, 2003 in the Warendorf district. The third segment dealt with the “exciting contrast” between the mining sites of the industrial settlements and the “attractive park landscape”.

The Dutch artist Saskia Bos was the artistic director . The following artists were involved:

2005

The works of art realized for the “Sculpture Biennale Münsterland 2005” in the Borken district ranged from installations, integrated sculpture-media projects and reorganizing landscape works to works with a comprehensive conceptual background.

Some of the installations stayed at their locations even after the event, such as the object “The solid reality of the conditioned” by Ulrich Genth & Heike Mutter in Vreden . This is a wooden helicopter whose rotor blades can be driven by the water mill of the nearby Hamaland Museum and, according to the artist, evoke associations with films such as Apocalypse Now or James Bond .
