Globes Part 7

I posted a still of David Byrne's Tight Spot once many years ago. It is an appropriate time to reintroduce it (at the very least check out the part in the video at 1:30 where it is opened up and we get a view inside of it). At least I know that I will have it a lot easier than inflating this gargantuan object (though Byrne didn't have to battle cactus and wind).

Globes: Part 2

In light of David Byrne's installation Tight Spot, a 48'x20' inflatable world installed underneath the High Line, it's time for another globe blogpost. Byrne's project is definitely a reason why I wish I was visiting NYC in the next couple weeks.
