"The book ... has two goals: it documents seventeen different art projects in the public space, which were carried out north of Basel between 2002 and 2010 in connection with the construction of an urban motorway, and it is also to be seen as a guide and and source of inspiration for anyone who whishes to use art to intervene in public space and explore the potentials of such interventions ... The project was given the name 'Nordtangente - Kunsttangente'.  In this way the place was named (Nordtangente), as were also the basic idea (motorway construction and art projects) and the source of finance (public funds)"--P. 15, Engish text.
