Turn the breeze into art at Kunsthalle Münster's newest exhibit
Ready for a refreshing take on art? From June 15 to September 21, 2025, catch the captivating sculptures and installations of Catalan artist Rosa Tharrats at Kunsthalle Münster. In this unprecedented exhibition, she invites us to contemplate humanity's relationship with nature.
Entitled "We Are Full of Winds and Sea and Solar Threads," this gallery experience will leave you questioning and reflecting on our connection to the environment. The crowning jewel is the mesmerizing installation "Vestir el viento" - a spectacle that almost fills the entire exhibition space with a harmonious blend of ropes, belts, fabrics, and other materials. To add a touch of enchantment, marble slabs on the Kunsthalle floor serve as anchor points for the ropes, while at the windows, the installation presents a dazzling light show projected from vibrant films.
At first glance, Tharrats' work may seem abstract, but digging a little deeper reveals her poignant commentary on our impact on nature. Her creations are often repurposed from her personal archive and juxtapose industrially-produced second-hand clothing items with natural materials like silk. This contrast highlights the interplay between humans and the environment and emphasizes the vulnerability of nature, particularly our vast oceans.
Tharrats' journey to this exhibition started with an adventure to the Southern Sandwich Islands in the subarctic South Atlantic aboard an expedition ship from the Schmidt Ocean Institute in January 2025. Stunning underwater footage captured during this journey is showcased in her film "The divine underwater creatures are flying and floating and melting with us," which seamlessly transitions from nature's splendor to Tharrats' textile structures billowing in the wind. This dynamic depiction of nature's movement has a calming effect, serving as a stark reminder of the urgent ecological challenges we face.
To enhance your experience, you can participate in the exhibition's event program, featuring performances that bring wind, water, and sun to life, moving her installation in captivating ways. Additionally, there will be a reading group and guided tours through the exhibition space.
