High Line Asks Public To Vote On New Art Installations

MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, NY — The High Line is appealing to the public to help decide which art installations will go up next along the one and a half-mile elevated park.

New Yorkers are being asked to pick from among 80 artists' proposals to fill two openings on the Plinth, a rotating public art space on the newest section of the High Line, dubbed the Spur, which opened last June near Hudson Yards.

The wide-ranging proposals include artists representing 40 countries, seeking to be chosen for the Plinth's third and fourth commissions, to be installed in 2022 and 2024. The artists were nominated by an international advisory committee composed of artists, curators and other arts professionals, the High Line said.

Organizers are asking for the public's feedback through the end of September, which they will share with the curatorial team before a shortlist is decided.

The Plinth's first commission, "Brick House" by Simone Leigh, opened in 2019 and will be in place until 2021. A second commission will be announced "in the coming months" and will remain on view for 18 months after Brick House is removed, the park says.
