During a visit to the Pace gallery, David Byrne transformed a mundane stairwell into an artistic showcase. Drawing with a black acrylic marker, he created a whimsical mural featuring a family with skyscraper heads. The project was initiated by Lauren Panzo, aiming to inject creativity into a commonly overlooked space. Byrne was motivated by the idea of engaging visitors up close, enhancing their journey through the stairwell. This blend of music and art reflects Byrne's innovative spirit and his desire to make art accessible and enjoyable for gallerygoers.
"I just thought, Oh, it would be fun to do something in the stairwell, because I take the stairs all the time, and they're boring."
"I thought, Oh, people are really in close proximity to the walls when they go up or down. What if they were confronted by all these different kinds of images?"
