EMSCHERKUNST is an exhibition of international artists in public space in Germany's Ruhr region, along 81 kilometres of the Emscher river. It is taking place for the second time, following its success during the European Capital of Culture year 2010, as the largest art project in the public domain providing "renaturation" in the northern Ruhr region. The Emscher River will be transformed from being an open sewer, to a natural river by 2020.Artists
