The Emscherkunstweg, or Emscher Art Trail, is a remarkable artistic journey that spans the banks of the Emscher River in the heart of the Ruhr region in western Germany. Once known as the most polluted river in Europe, the Emscher has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving from a mere drainage system into a breathtaking natural river landscape. This ecological marvel has been the backdrop for three remarkable Emscher art exhibitions, which took place between 2010 and 2016. Since 2019, the permanent works of art created during these exhibitions have served as the foundation for the expansion of the Emscher Art Trail.
This comprehensive volume is the first to provide a comprehensive overview of all the artworks featured on the trail, particularly the recent additions by Julius von Bismarck/Marta Dyachenko, David Jablonowski, Markus Jeschaunig, Sofía Táboas, and Nicole Wermers. It also delves into the critical issues surrounding the preservation and potential of art in public spaces, exploring its intricate relationship with the region's industrial heritage.
The Emscherkunstweg is not just a visual spectacle; it is also an ideal travel companion and a valuable reference work for anyone seeking to discover art along over 100 kilometers of cycle paths. The trail offers a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the beauty of nature while exploring the rich cultural heritage of the Ruhr region. Whether you are an art enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply a curious explorer, the Emscherkunstweg has something to offer for everyone.
So, pack your bags, grab your bike, and embark on a journey of artistic discovery along the banks of the Emscher River. The Emscherkunstweg awaits you, ready to captivate your senses and inspire your imagination.
