A giant, 16-foot tall pigeon sculpture is coming to New York City's High Line.
NEW YORK - A giant, 16-foot tall pigeon is coming to New York City's High Line. Artist Iván Argote's sculpture, called 'Dinosaur,' will be installed on the High Line at 10th Avenue and 30th Streets In October. It will be on display for 18 months. While the pigeon sculpture itself is 16 feet, it will be mounted on a five foot tall plinth, making Dinosaur a total of 21 feet tall.
'The name also serves as reference to the dinosaur's extinction. Like them, one day we won't be around any more, but perhaps a remnant of humanity will live on — as pigeons do — in the dark corners and gaps of future worlds. I feel this sculpture could generate an uncanny feeling of attraction, seduction, and fear among the inhabitants of New York.
