New York, NY (March 19, 2012) – High Line Art, presented by Friends of the High Line, is pleased to announce Lilliput, the first group exhibition at the High Line. Lilliput will make its debut on Thursday, April 19, 2012, and remain on view through Sunday, April 14, 2013.

Lilliput will reflect on the traditional role of public art by offering a counterbalance to the monumental scale often employed for plaza sculptures and other outdoor installations in public spaces. As the first project in the HIGH LINE COMMISSIONS series for spring, 2012, Lilliput will feature miniature sculptures installed in unusual and unexpected places at the High Line – amongst the vegetation and along the pathway – to create an art treasure hunt for visitors. Lilliput takes its title from Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, conjuring a magical world populated by fairy tale creatures, mysterious idols, and dreamlike landscapes
