The event will start on Tuesday 28th June 2005 at 10am. On average 2 litres are dispersed every 10 seconds from the gallery tap. If bottled and stacked from floor to ceiling it would be enough water to fill several supermarket megastores. McGowan says, 'Basically its an art piece for people to come and look at and enjoy aesthically, though of course they could stay at home and watch the tap as they fill their kettle, it is also an attempt to get people to notice me because I've never got enough attention at other times in my life. In my work, I'm heavily influenced by that other publicity monkey, David Blaine.' The 'Running Tap', can be viewed most days from 1pm-6pm or by appointment.
