forms of the surrounding futures
May 4 - August 4, 2024
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.
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.
