Tight Spot by David Byrne
Hyphenate David Byrne is at it again. The former leader of Talking Heads has just mounted a diverting, inspired installation underneath the High Line. Aptly titled Tight Spot, the work is a whimsical, inflated globe with an accompanying audio component of rumbling noises consisting of the artist's voice recorded and then electronically altered beyond recognition. The piece is also wedged next to the newly relocated Pace Gallery, which is slated for expansion in the very eastward direction of Byrne's temporary installation, itself scheduled to remain on view through Oct. 1. Pace has planned for their expansion to begin immediately following the dismounting of Tight Spot.
