During the summer semester 2006 and the winter semester 2006/07, sculpture projects muenster 07 collaborated with the Academy of Fine Arts Muenster in organizing a Preview titled “Vorspann”. This series of public lectures and workshops for art students was held by artists participating in the exhibition. A publication of the contributions to this series was published in February 2007.
Before the official opening of the exhibition and starting at the beginning of 2007, the projektbar was held at the office of sculpture projects muenster 07 (Rothenburg 30) on the first Thursday of each month. The program has been organized in cooperation with the city of Muenster’s Office of Cultural Affairs.
In addition a series of talks and panel discussions bringing together scholars from the University of Muenster with national and international speakers to discuss the relationship of art and public space started in June 2007.
This collaborative project of the University of Muenster and sculpture projects muenster 07 highlighted the various contexts of the exhibition from both interdisciplinary and intercultural perspectives.
In connection with the exhibition, the Muenster Film Club has screened a series of films addressing the subject of “City, Space, and the Public.”
FreihausMS, an action group of architects, journalists, photographers, and designers from Muenster, made various aspects of “The City” the focus of a series of talks and discussions known as the “Hausgespraeche” or “In-House Conversations”.
