An exhibition from the Skulptur Projekte archive
Creating nothing permanent is one of the fundamental ideas that characterize Skulptur Projekte every ten years. Since the first exhibition in 1977, the focus has been on encounters between people and art in public spaces. Works from the last three editions of Skulptur Projekte in particular show an increasing interest in the human body as an artistic material and the participation of the public. In addition to the performances presented, works were created in which people could interact and participate. Visitors were allowed to actively participate or watch others do so. The participation of people as actors questions the status of objects and reformulates the relationships between people and things in the work.
