Despite Wednesday’s blizzard—a nor’easter dubbed Toby that dumped about eight inches of snow on New York City—spring officially arrived this week. While we await the warmer weather that typically comes with the changing of the seasons, artnet News has put together a handy guide to all the public art on view in New York over the next couple of months. Enjoy!

1. Banksy, Free Zehra Dogan at the Houston Bowery Wall
The infamous British street artist Banksy, back in New York after a five-year absence, has thrilled local art lovers with a slew of new works in the last week. Some unsanctioned works seem destined to be snatched up and sold at auction by enterprising landlords, but the graffiti artist has also created a commissioned work for the Houston Bowery Wall. The piece protests the imprisonment of Zehra Doğan, who has been jailed for painting an image of the destruction of Kurdish towns by government forces.

2. Yinka Shonibare, Wind Sculpture (SG) I at Doris C. Freedman Plaza in Central Park
Following last fall’s Ai Weiwei extravaganza, the Public Art Fund once again takes a pro-immigration stance with Yinka Shonibare’s 23-foot-tall fluttering sail sculpture. The work references a history of colonialism and migration, with a colorful print based on the artist’s signature batik-inspired Dutch wax prints, popular in West Africa, where they are imported from the Netherlands.

3. Gillie and Marc Schattner, The Last Three at Astor Place
The beloved Astor Place Cube has some competition in the form of the ruthlessly maligned sculpture The Last Three, a well-meaning tribute to the critically endangered white rhino meant to support rhino conservation and condemn poaching. The 17-foot-tall bronze piece, which stacks the three remaining animals atop one another, was unveiled, however, just days before the tragic death of Sudan, the only remaining male white rhino—all but ensuring the species’ extinction, kitschy art notwithstanding. A sign memorializing Sudan has since been placed next to the statue.

4. Phyllida Barlow, prop at the High Line
Phillida Barlow is reimagining her 2017 Venice Biennale sculpture for the High Line, creating a pair of concrete panels propped up on stilts, with cutouts in the center. The work is intended to reference the park’s industrial past, placed on a spur of the former rail line that would have run directly into a refrigerated warehouse serving the old Nabisco cookie factory. It’s the first time that the High Line will show art on its Northern Spur Preserve.

5. “Diana Al-Hadid: Delirious Matter” at Madison Square Park
For her first major public art project, Diana Al-Hadid will present six newly commissioned sculptures made by pouring colored polymer gypsum on objects to make drippy, ethereal casts that are reinforced with fiberglass. Some of the figures will emerge from leafy row hedges planted in the ground, while the Madison Square Park reflecting pool will become home to a female bust seated on a mountainous fragment. (The artist also has an upcoming show of the same name at the Bronx Museum of the Arts, on view May 23–October 14, 2018.)

7. Anselm Kiefer, Uraeus at Rockefeller Center
After eight years of talks with the Public Art Fund, Anselm Kiefer’s first site-specific outdoor public sculpture in the US will touch down at Rockefeller Center this spring. The piece depicts a colossal winged book, spread open and perched atop a 20-foot-tall pole encircled by a snake—the title, Uraeus, refers to the sacred cobra symbol embraced by the ancient Egyptians. Cast in lead, the main work will be joined by other large-scale lead books scattered across the plaza.

8. Julia Sinelnikova, Triquerta for Healing at Brower Park
Made from acrylic and steel, Triquerta for Healing is inspired both by the geographical borders of Crown Heights and traditional Buddhist mandalas and features a beautiful stained glass effect that the artist describes as “a sun-activated light bath to visitors.”

9. Jamie Scott, Spring on Times Square’s Electronic Billboards
Times Square Arts ushers in spring with a seasonal Midnight Moment, Jamie Scott’s follow-up to his viral hit Fall, shot over two years in Central Park and showing the changing colors of the foliage in the autumn. For Spring, he captured close-ups of blooming flowers in his studio, incorporating the footage into shots of the park.

12. Dorothy Iannone, I Lift My Lamp Beside the Golden Door at the High Line 
One of the highlight’s of this year’s Independent Art Fair New York was a selection of works by 84-year-old self-taught artist Dorothy Iannone shown by Air de Paris, Paris. Now, she’s unveiled her first public artwork, with a mural featuring three of her boldly colorful, unabashedly sexual female figures, of the Statue of Liberty, overlooking the High Line. Iannone was first commissioned to do the piece back in 2014, making its pro-immigrant message—the title, printed on the wall, comes from the closing lines of Emma Lazarus’s “The New Colossus”—especially prescient in the age of Donald Trump.

14. “Kathy Ruttenberg on Broadway: in dreams awake,” on Broadway 
The Broadway Mall Association has tapped Kathy Ruttenberg to present her sculptures along the famed avenue between Columbus Circle and 157th Street. The artist’s vision seems like something out of a fairy tale, with whimsical works like a mermaid trapped in a fishbowl, a mammoth snail, and anthropomorphized deer, mice, and trees.

15. Ruth Hofheimer, Birds of Paradise at Bayswater Park
Ruth Hofheimer enlisted members of the neighborhood to help complete her 500-foot-long mural, setting it up paint-by-numbers style. The piece is inspired by the ecosystem of nearby Jamaica Bay, particularly its wealth of birds such as ospreys.

16. Pauline Boudry and Renate Lorenz, Silent at the High Line 
Airing daily starting at dusk in the High Line’s 14th Street passageway, Pauline Boudry and Renate Lorenz’s Rise stars the musician Aérea Negrot, performing in silence—her rendition of John Cage’s 4’33” (1952). The piece was staged at the Oranienplatz in Berlin, home to a refugee protest camp in 2012–14, beginning at a podium and continuing as Negrot walks through the park, before ending with a song. The piece considers silence can be both an oppressive and empowering.

20. Symmetry Labs, Sea of Light at the Seaport District
All winter, South Street Seaport has been home to an immersive public light installation from Symmetry Labs, a San Francisco light art collective that has shown at the likes of Burning Man and Refinery 29’s 29 Rooms. A series of interactive spheres some a big as nine feet tall are lit from within by a collective 150,000 individually programmable LEDs that respond to the sound and motion of viewers.

21. Hugh Hayden, The Jones Part II at Inwood Hill Park
Hugh Hayden’s rough-hewn sculpture resembles a picnic table, but with protruding branches that preclude its functionality. It’s part of a public art series called “New Bench” that aims to reinvent the park bench, a communal space for communities.

22. Loop at Garment District Plazas
The latest art installation from the Garment District Alliance is a series of six nine-foot-tall retro-futuristic cylinders created by the team of Olivier Girouard, Jonathan Villeneuve, Ottoblix, Generique Design, Thomas Ouellet Fredericks, Adsum Lab, Jérôme D. Roy, and Dominic Thibault. Climb in and start to pump—almost as if you’re on a giant hamster wheel—and you’ll activate a selection of spinning musical films, inspired by the zoetrope and telling 13 fairy tale stories.

23. Suprina, In Someone Else’s Shoes at Inwood Hill Park
Park-goers are invited to climb on and pose in this massive shoe, covered in a mosaic of discarded objects. Suprina’s aim is to encourage viewers to think about walking in someone else’s shoes, rather than their own.

25. Water Ripples by Stella Artois at Grand Central Station
Stella Artois is teaming up with Water.org to help end the global water crisis with a kinetic art installation at New York’s Grand Central Station. Viewers can trigger a wave-like performance of water droplets—and the whole thing is captured on video, the better to be shared on social media. To participate, though, you have to buy a limited edition Stella Artois chalice—the sale of each one provides five years of clean water for one person in the developing world.

Grand Central Station, Vanderbilt Hall, 89 East 42nd Street; March 23–26, 2018, 8 a.m.–8 p.m.

28. Gillie and Marc Schattner, Table of Love, part of “Travel Everywhere With Love,” at 237 Park Avenue
Not content with one oddly saccharin animal sculpture, the duo behind the misguided white rhino memorial has also installed a new bronze of their signature human-animal hybrid characters, Rabbitgirl and Dogman. It’s one of 100 similar works installed at sites around the world as part of what they’re claiming is the world’s largest gender equality art project—apparently, the love between the two species “stands for keeping minds open and love flowing” in the face of growing nationalism and border control.

For two weeks, artists Mehdi Saeedi, Masako Inkyo, Rupy C. Tut, and Rostarr (Romon K. Yang), will take over the Winter Garden at Brookfield Place, covering the windows with large-scale, love-themed calligraphic paintings. The multi-lingual project will draw on the artists’ varied heritages—they hail from Iran, Japan, India, Korea and the United States—using words, letters, shapes, and symbols from their respective languages and alphabets. Each artist will work for two days during the exhibition’s run/creation, between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.
