Dan Lie (b. 1988) lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
59/19/29 is a wooden structure that combines elements of a billboard, a gateway, and a shelter. It features engraved portraits of the artist’s father as an infant and later in life, with a roof and fabric panels that create a space to pause. Through a single life, the work connects personal history to larger political events, including migration, displacement, and loss.

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.
