Witness reimagines the fountain as a structure of flowing metal. Fabricated from reclaimed and industrial metals, including materials that reference the High Line’s former rail use, the sculpture carries traces of prior histories of movement and transformation. Witness transforms a familiar civic structure into an evolving system, inviting viewers to consider interdependence, perception, and shared presence.
Can you imagine this artwork on the Plinth? Why or why not? Is this proposal a good fit for the High Line? For New York City? For our time? Your comments will be shared with High Line Art's curatorial team and will help inform their selection of the shortlist of artists for the seventh and eighth commissions. Include your email if you'd like to stay up-to-date on the Plinth process.
Major support for the High Line Plinth is provided by members of the High Line Plinth Committee and contemporary art leaders committed to realizing major commissions and engaging in the public success of the Plinth. Learn more about the High Line Plinth Committee.
