The High Line: A River Runs Through It...Both Ways

Native Americans dubbed the river we know as the Hudson “Muhheakantuck,” meaning “the river that flows both ways.” That fluvial versatility inspired Brooklyn-based artist Spencer Finch‘s “The River that Flows Both Ways,” the just-announced public art project that will inaugurate New York’s High Line Park next fall.

Sponsored by Creative Time, Friends of the High Line, and the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation, the project will transform an existing series of windows with 700 individually crafted panes of glass that represent water conditions on the Hudson over a period of 700 minutes on a single day.
