Part of the programme at Frieze New York 2025, Asad Raza’s Immortal Coil is a new participatory installation created in collaboration with High Line Art and Frieze. The work incorporates seedlings, cuttings and clippings from plants found on the High Line.
The selected plant seedlings and cuttings will greet visitors as they enter the Shed, and will be open to view by the public. On the morning of Saturday 10 May at 11AM, participants who sign up in advance will be given a plant and invited to walk the length of the High Line with it. At the end of the walk, they will be encouraged to take their plant home, creating a lasting and living connection between the city, the installation and those taking part in the work. Raza has also invited musician and artist Kelsey Lu to compose original music for the plants, and environmental writer Zoë Schlanger to give a lecture. Immortal Coil focuses on the endless generation of plant life, through sunlight and soil, and reproduces the High Line’s plantings on a miniature scale, distributed to the people of New York City.
