New York—the pigeon has landed. ????️ We are overjoyed to announce that Iván Argote’s (@ivan_argote) “Dinosaur” is now on view to the public on the High Line. “Dinosaur,” like the pigeons that inspired it, bears witness to the city’s evolution and confronts us with our ever-changing relationship with the natural world and its inhabitants. Argote humorously suggests that, in fact, the not wild—but no longer domesticated—birds are likely more deserving of being placed on a pedestal and celebrated for their contributions to society than many of the human figures we have canonized. Further, by highlighting their origins, Argote reminds viewers that, to some degree, everyone is an immigrant. Even the pigeon, a New York fixture, initially migrated here and made the city their home, like millions of other “native” New Yorkers. New York—are you ready to visit this monumental pigeon in person? Plan your next visit to the High Line today! #NYCDinosaur #HighLinePlinth ???? “Dinosaur,” Iván Argote ???? October 2024 — Spring 2026 ???? On the High Line at the Spur, at 30th St. and 10th Ave. ???? Link in bio ????: @timothyschenck

Heading up to see “Dinosaur” on the High Line soon? Impress the history buffs and art appreciators in your life with a few fun facts about pigeons, the monumental artwork, and its artist, Iván Argote (@Ivan_Argote). 1️⃣: Pigeons that are now ubiquitous in American cities arrived in the US via Europe, likely in the 1800s. They were kept as domesticated animals and were most notably used as reliable message carriers. Pigeons served as military messengers in both World War I and World War II, saving hundreds of soldiers’ lives by transporting messages quickly to the trenches and front lines. Many pigeons even received gallantry awards and were lauded as war heroes, before technology eventually rendered them obsolete. 2️⃣: “Dinosaur” is our High Line Art team’s fourth-ever Plinth commission. Entirely funded by contributions to our nonprofit conservancy Friends of the High Line, the Plinth is the first space on the High Line—and one of the only sites in New York City—dedicated solely to a rotating series of new, monumental, contemporary art commissions. “Dinosaur” was first submitted as a proposal for the High Line Plinth in 2020, among 80 proposals that included the third High Line Plinth commission, Pamela Rosenkranz’s “Old Tree” (2023). 3️⃣: Artist Iván Argote’s work is heavily focused on social justice issues and historical processes, inspired by his childhood in Bogotá, as he grew up in a family with a long tradition of political and social activism, from the 1950s to the present. While he grew up in Colombia, he currently resides and works in Paris, France! We hope you enjoyed these facts and deepen your appreciation for “Dinosaur” and everyday pigeons that inspired it. Thank you to our friends at Villa Albertine (@villa.albertine), the French Institute for Culture and Education, whose support helped us bring this “Dinosaur” to life for New Yorkers and parkgoers everywhere!

‘Can you keep a secret?’ This is the first question that performers ask fair visitors for Pilvi Takala’s latest project. Takala’s ‘The Pin’ initiates conversations between strangers, with eleven performers spontaneously approaching visitors to The Shed and the High Line during Frieze New York. If the participant confirms they can be confided in, they are gifted with a pin. ‘I would like people to consider why they put on the pin, how they feel being acknowledged by other people with the pin. Where else does this happen? We all belong to some kind of insider group... Inclusion, exclusion, it happens all the time.’ ‘The Pin’ is inspired by Takala’s experience of attending an invite-only Finnish National Defence course. Challenging social norms and codes, Takala is interested in how we create and conform to ‘social rules that are often unwritten’, establishing a new mode of interaction with ‘The Pin’. ‘The Pin’ is a co-commission by @highlineartnyc and Frieze, curated by Taylor Zakarin (@taylorzakarin), associate curator, High Line Art.

Hot off the presses! ???? We are proud to announce that our book “Elevated: Art on the High Line” is now available for purchase globally! Edited by Cecilia Alemani (@ceciliaalemani), the Donald R. Mullen, Jr. Director & Chief Curator of High Line Art, “Elevated” documents the creative evolution and vibrant cultural programming of High Line Art. As seen in its abundant photographs that chronicle ambitious artworks situated in our gardens through the passage of seasons, the book showcases the High Line as a city-scale canvas for artists. Through vibrant photographs and unique conversations with participating artists, as well as essays by key critics such as Julia Bryan-Wilson, Emanuele Coccia and Aruna D’Souza, our book surveys the dozens of open-air installations, billboards, murals, video projects, and participatory events that demonstrate the impact our public art program has had on both New York City and the art world.

What does a week look like for the curator who brings art to life on the High Line? Recently, Cecilia Alemani (@CeciliaAlemani), the Donald R. Mullen, Jr. Director & Chief Curator of High Line Art walked Elisabeth Vincentelli from the New York Times (@nytimes) through a recent week in her life. You may not be surprised to learn that visits to exhibitions in New York City and Chicago, a trip to a Broadway show with her son, providing an artist with a tour of the park, and even responding to emails(!) only make up a fraction of her action-packed week. Since stepping into her role at the High Line Art in 2011, Cecilia’s impact and curatorial expertise have been showcased not only throughout New York City, but also around the world. In addition to her work leading the High Line Art program, New Yorkers can see her latest curation through June 14: the exhibit “Willem de Kooning: Endless Painting” at Gagosian’s (@Gagosian) West 24th Street gallery. Beyond New York City limits, she served as the artistic director of the 59th Venice Biennale in 2022, is curating the upcoming Site Santa Fe International (@sitesantafe), and is developing a project for a new Paris institution scheduled to open in the fall of 2026. Cecilia brings all these rich experiences home to the High Line as she continues to build a vision for our public art program, which provides artists from New York and around the globe with a powerful platform and support system for realizing their artworks on our elevated park. Visit the link in our profile to read along as Cecilia spends an electrifying week in New York City and Chicago with friends, colleagues, and her family members in this week’s piece, “How a High Line Curator Keeps Up With Art in Multiple Cities.” ???? ????: Graham Dickie/The New York Times

‘A Totem for the High Line’ is Arthur Simms’s site-responsive sculpture located on the 16th Street spur of the @highlinenyc. Jordan Carter (@jordancartercarter), curator at New York’s @diaartfoundation, talks to High Line director Cecilia Alemani (@ceciliaalemani) about the intimate and urban dimensions of Simms’s assemblage sculpture. Repurposing found objects, such as wood, rope, license plates from across the US and a utility pole from Randall’s Island (the depository for the High Line’s old rail tracks), Simms’s material choices signpost the intersection of diverse histories.

Foot Fountain (pink) is an over indulgent creature out of my drawings. It appeared one day as a small sculpture while I was doing some craft work with my daughter during the pandemic. The original idea for a larger work was to have it as an irrigation fountain that will water a flower garden in its radios ‘footprint’, nurturing and connecting with the land it occupies. Here, on the highline, instead of nurturing the well tended gardens, I thought it should nurture and cool passer by on hot days, and share some of its over enthusiastic spirit! #mikarottenberg ???? @liz_devine @highlinenyc @highlineartnyc

Now playing on High Line Channel: Luka Yuanyuan Yang’s (@lukayang) “Tales of Chinatown,” an exhibition of three of her short films: “Cantonese Tunes on Mott Street” (2022), “The Lady From Shanghai” (2019), and “Tales of Chinatown” (2019). During a year-long research trip across the US in 2018, Yang was captivated by the rich history of migration and adaptation in America’s Chinatowns. As Yang began researching the stories of Chinese women in 20th-century American performing arts, she uncovered and documented the experiences of other Chinese women performers whose stories have been forgotten or misunderstood by history. Yang’s exploration of these neighborhoods, the Chinese diaspora, and performing artists has become the central focus of her short films and feature film “Chinatown Cha-Cha,” which will be shown at the Roxy Cinema NYC (@roxycinemanyc) in late May. By following her protagonists on the streets, through their communities, and into their homes, Yang amplifies the voices of those often denied the chance to share their own stories—individuals who have been forgotten, silenced, or misinterpreted. In a time of rising threats to America’s Chinatowns, the artist brings generations together through film, dance, and dialogue. Drop by the High Line to watch “Tales of Chinatown” this spring and summer! ???? On the High Line at 14th Street ???? May 9 — July 9, beginning at 5pm daily ???? Link in bio ???? @timothyschenck
