Description

CAROL BOVE, CATERPILLAR

Presented by Friends of the High Line, High Line Art presents Caterpillar by Brooklyn-based artist Carol Bove. A series of large-scale sculptures installed among the native grasses and wildflowers that make up the self-seeded landscape of the High Line at the Rail Yards, Caterpillar is the last chance to see the third and final section of the elevated railway, which is currently closed to the public, before it is transformation into public parkland in 2014.

Carol Bove (b. 1971, Switzerland) is known for her simple yet intricate assemblages of found and made objects. Recent solo exhibitions include the Musuem of Modern Art, New York (2013); The Common Guild, Glasgow (2013); and the Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2010). Major biennales include dOCUMENTA (13), Kassel, Germany (2012), the 54th Venice Biennale (2011), and the Whitney Biennial, New York (2008).


REGISTRATION

Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled time.

Entry to this exhibition is by timed ticket only, and each visitor must present his or her own ticket to enter. Each ticket is valid only for the date and time indicated. No late entries.

All walks are 45 minutes long and are led by High Line Rangers, knowledgeable guides who offer an insider’s perspective on the High Line’s history, landscape, and art.

Visitors must be 18 years or older to access the High Line at the Rail Yards.

Because the terrain on the High Line at the Rail Yards is uneven and the site is still overgrown the City of New York, who owns the property, requires that all guests sign a waiver prior to entry.

Friends of the High Line requires that all participants wear practical, flat-heel, closed-toe, sturdy shoes/boots, suitable for uneven terrain. High heels and sandals are not permitted.

Please note that all tours are rain or shine unless weather conditions are deemed unsafe. If there is heavy snow, all walks will be cancelled until furthur notice. If a walk is canceled, visitors will be notified by 6:00 PM eastern time the day before the scheduled walk via email and social media.


DIRECTIONS

The check-in table for Carol Bove’s Caterpillar is located on West 34th Street, between 11th and 12th Avenues, on the south side of the street.

Please note that there are MegaBus lines that run along West 34th Street, making the entrance to the High Line at the Rail Yards difficult to see during peak commuting hours.

Look for a large High Line Art flag near the MTA bus ticket kiosks; this flag marks the entrance to the High Line at the Rail Yards.

All visitors will enter and exit through the West 34th Street gate.
