Once every ten years the Münster Art Project fills the city’s streets, squares, parks and gardens with the latest cutting edge—or if not cutting edge—trend setting statements in public based ‘place’ specific art. This year would prove to be no exception, the decennial  can easily draw huge crowds to its best installations… take for example Ayse Erkmen’s “On Water” located on the city’s inland harbour, the Stadthafen. Granted the day i visited temperatures were high in the mid 30s, and people were enthusiastically entering the canal barefoot to wade along shoulder to shoulder in water up to their ankles to partake in this refreshing experience. This biblical spectacle was intended to provoke visitors into considering  physical boundaries and gaps in the city fabric. Then again it would be hard not to detect that this marginalised neighbourhood was nearly completely gentrified.
