NON-SWIMMER'S CLUB

»Baden im Mühlgang« is the project of a temporary bath at a little river, in Graz, Austria, by Wolfgang Grillitsch, Benny Foerster-Baldenius and Peter Arlt.
The project is part of the art festival »Real Utopia«, Graz 2003,Cultural Capitol of Europe

As industrial pollution has come to an end it could be possible to take a bath in the little river »Mühlgang« again. The project team has built a fully equipped bath with a changing area, a boardwalk, a shower, and lifebelts on an abandoned industrial site. They have called it » Non-Swimmer¢s Club « because swimming is still forbidden, although the water is quite clean. Every member gets a code to enter the bath. It is up to them to jump into the water.
