On the occasion of the European Capital of Culture RUHR.2010, the Emscher Island becomes one of its key art projects. A non-stop 70-kilometre long island path has been created, reuniting the existing cycle and footpaths and offering eight exhibition spaces.
Sculptures are integrated in the most unusual spaces such as watergates, former industrial plants or urban brownfields.
