Spotted at 10th Avenue between 18th and 19th Streets: a giant billboard featuring two chickens (well, one hen and one rooster, to be specific) casually crossing the road — but don’t expect a punchline. This clever and surreal artwork, titled Don’t ASK by artist Allison Katz, is part of the High Line’s rotating public art series. With its deadpan humor and painterly style, the piece turns the classic joke setup into an open-ended moment of reflection. Why are they crossing? Katz leaves it up to the viewer — and maybe that’s the whole point. This installation will be up only through August 2025.
