Find words which mean: • to unexpectedly experience or be faced with something difficult or hostile: • absolutely necessary; essential: launch namesake uninitiated encounter renown indispensable coexistence representative leap out of pop up On June 10, 2017, one of the most important art shows in the world, the Sculpture Projects Münster (SPM), launched its fifth edition in its namesake German city, the cultural heart of North Rhine-Westphalia. Running for 100 days, SPM features over 30 new productions of public art, ranging from sculpture to performance, spread across the city. But what’s so special about SPM? And how come most young people in the art world know so little about it? The answer might lie in its slow pace. One of the main features of the exhibition is that it has taken place once every 10 years since 1977. Why is SPM held once every 10 years? Here’s everything you need to know about the exhibition, its history, and what to see. And a piece of friendly advice to the uninitiated: Rent a bike! As a sculptor, I first visited SPM in 2007, and I will never forget the impressions I had at that time. I encountered pieces of art everywhere while strolling through Münster, and there were many tourists who came to enjoy SPM in this small city. Münster is well known for being the “bicycle capital” of Germany. More than 100,000 bicyclists are on the road daily. That’s why it’s common to see tourists riding bicycles through the city while holding a map or a smartphone during the art show. Münster is also considered the cultural center of the Westphalia region. Since 1977, artists of world renown have been gathering together at SPM in order to present works specifically created for Münster. These and many more works of art in public spaces make Münster a city of sculptures. The art show highlights how indispensable public art is to socio- cultural coexistence, making it one of the most representative festivals for public art. Since visiting SPM in 2007, I had been looking forward to returning in 2017. This time, I rented a bike and had a map in my hand. Artworks that had leaped out of the exhibition hall covered the downtown area. Finding a specific piece of art is like going on a treasure hunt, but artworks pop up at any time and in any place!
