High Line Art and the Chanel Culture Fund have launched a partnership to co-commission rising artists working in digital and time-based media for High Line Originals, a film series hosted at the High Line Channel in Manhattan. The fourth cycle begins September 10 with the premiere of Frank Wang Yefeng's "Groundless Flower – ཨ" (2025), and the program shifts from a biannual to an annual commissioning cycle. Additional U.S. premieres by Cao Fei, Lu Yang, and Jakob Kudsk Steenson will screen on September 8 and 9, with a group show featuring Petra Cortright in November 2025.
This partnership matters because it provides a breakthrough platform for emerging digital and video artists in a highly visible public setting, making time-based media more accessible to audiences who may feel excluded from traditional galleries. The collaboration also signals a growing institutional commitment to supporting experimental, tech-driven art forms, and extends the Chanel Culture Fund's global public art program from London to New York.
