Over the course of three years (2023 to 2025), ART FLOW focused on the entire 36-kilometer-long Limmat Valley. Between where the river flows out of Lake Zurich at Bellevue and where it joins the River Aare at Lauffohr, around two dozen site-specific artworks were gradually placed, engaging with this cultural, economic and living space, which was exemplary of many current issues and developments. At the same time, a large-scale photographic field study was carried out: «The Limmattal(ers)». The aim was to use art to promote a deeper awareness of the Limmat Valley and strengthen its identity.
The ART FLOW project provided low-threshold access to art and culture for all levels of society. By engaging with art and its multi-layered contexts, it raised awareness of regional living environments. A comprehensive and multifaceted educational program provided access to the themes and works. By actively engaging with the art objects, imagination and creativity were encouraged and discussions stimulated. The cultural education program was a valuable investment in the future of cultural participation.
