Publications

In cooperation with various publishers, publications on individual elements of the programme appear at irregular intervals, most recently an inventory catalogue on the Emscherkunstweg, which is dedicated in particular to the new works created in recent years. The magazines from 2019 to 2023 provide a good insight into the topics of art in public spaces and the Ruhr region in general and were summarised as a book in 2024 and expanded to include an index.

Xanten

The Grand Snail Tour will be accompanied by literary, photographic and illustrative artists, who will collect impressions and reflections from the same city at the same time as the Trailer is there and put them into visual or literary form. The result is a paratext on the three-year tour, a travel chronicle in the form of a kaleidoscope of stories, connections and snapshots in the 53 cities of the region, revealing the simultaneities and non-simultaneities of the Grand Snail Tour.
