Deets: For the High Line, Mika Rottenberg presents the colorful “Foot Fountain (pink)”—a ten-foot-tall sculpture of a pink foot and lower leg topped with a sprinkler, activated by pedals installed nearby.
“Foot Fountain (pink) is an overindulgent creature from my drawings. It first appeared as a small sculpture while I was doing some craft work with my daughter during the pandemic. The original version was conceived for the Tinguely Museum in Basel and designed as an irrigation fountain to water a flower garden in its radiant ‘footprint’—nurturing and connecting with the land it touches. Here on the High Line, instead of nurturing the well-tended gardens, I thought it should nurture and cool passersby on hot days, and share some of its overenthusiastic spirit.” - Mika Rottenberg
Hint for the Average Socialite: This event is free andopen to the public. Kick off your shoes, and pedal to the medal on the “Foot Fountain (pink)” today! Just remember to stay off the sculpture so parkgoers can enjoy the fountain throughout the season!
