The Emscherkunstweg (Emscher Art Trail) currently comprises 24
works of public art on the banks of the Emscher River in the heart
of the Ruhr region in western Germany. Once the most polluted river
in Europe, the Emscher has been dramatically transformed from a
drainage system into a natural river landscape. Between 2010 and
2016, three Emscher art exhibitions accompanied this ecological
tour de force. Since 2019, the permanent works of art resulting
from these exhibitions have formed the starting point for the
expansion into the Emscher Art Trail. This volume is the first to
offer an overview of all the works, in particular the new works by
Julius von Bismarck/Marta Dyachenko, David Jablonowski, Markus
Jeschaunig, Sofía Táboas and Nicole Wermers. It also addresses
questions surrounding the preservation and potential of art in
public space and its relationship to the region’s industrial
culture. The book is an ideal travel companion and reference work
for discovering art on over 100 kilometers of cycle paths.
