Most of us think of the High Line as something of a weird, wonderful urban park. But Cecilia Alemani, the curator and director of High Line Art, hastens to correct us, because it is so much more: “The High Line is both a promenade and an observatory: a place removed only 30 feet from the hustle of Manhattan streets, yet with this small distance the park allows its visitors space for respite and reflection,” she said. On Friday morning, High Line Art announced its newest open-air exhibition "Panorama," an art installation meant to bring together “humankind and nature” and entice viewers to reflect on their relationship to the outdoors.
