Kunsthalle Münster Spring 2024

forms of the surrounding futures & Ludger Gerdes

Since its opening in 1991, the Kunsthalle Münster has presented national and international contemporary art. The temporary exhibitions focus on current trends and socially relevant topics. As part of the municipal department of Culture, Kunsthalle Münster is responsible for the art works belonging to the city's public collection. 

In view of Münster's self-image as the city of the “Skulptur Projekte”, the Kunsthalle Münster is taking the opportunity to focus on questions of art and the public sphere in an exemplary manner beyond the major exhibition that takes place every ten years at the Stadthausgalerie, which was reopened last year. The show Synkategoremata present German artist Ludger Gerdes (1954-2008), on the occasion of his 70th birthday. It provides an insight into Gerdes' diverse artistic oeuvre and examines his critical examination of institutions.

The exhibition forms of the surrounding futures responds to the current state of permanent crisis by embodying and celebrating plural narratives beyond a normative dominance for a tomorrow in the exhibited works and performances. An expanded notion of "queer" forms the starting point to question prevailing paradigms and power structures and to rethink and reshape the construction of bodies, spaces, and times. With the adaptation of the GIBCA 2023 (Gothenburg International Biennial for Contemporary Art) Kunsthalle Münster takes up the works of international artists as Rodrigo Hernandez, Agnė Jokšė, Tarik Kiswanson, Esse McChesney, Rasmus Myrup, Ania Nowak, Luiz Roque and Ana Vaz , narratives that harness the collective capacity to imagine and rehearse future worlds.
