Description of Pictures: Ei Arakawa (b. 1977, Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan) is known for performances that often incorporate previous artwork or collaborations with other artists. For the High Line, Arakawa installs at 26th Street two new singing LED paintings, a translation of Gustave Courbet’s 1872 and 1873 paintings, both titled La truite (The Trout). Brought to life by an electric current, the trout emerges from the lush vegetation of the park as an illuminated canvas. The paintings perform a song that suggests connections between the art world of 19th century France—contemporary to Courbet—and the global art world today. The song’s lyrics were written by Ei Arakawa & Dan Poston; the music was composed by Forrest Nash.
