"Ladies and gentlemen, America has changed!" noted David Byrne before beginning his thrilling "I Was Changed"—a collaboration with Longueuil, Quebec's Les Éclipses Winterguard—last weekend at Contemporary Color (BAM's first co-presenation with the Barclays Center!). Bathing the arena in vibrant hues, Byrne's set provided an unexpected moment of celebration for SCOTUS's monumental Friday ruling...but it was by no means the program's only instance of jubilee. Audiences took to social media in droves to memorialize this once-in-a-lifetime performance spectacular, and we partnered with PHHHOTO to provide audiences dynamic portrait opportunities with an onsite PHHHOTO booth. After the jump, enjoy some of our favorite posts from the weekend and relive Contemporary Color's creative magic in posterity...

David Byrne Raises Flags

David Byrne fans know to expect the unexpected. Over the years, this former frontman of the seminal rock band Talking Heads has enjoyed an extensive solo career, indulging in his passion for world music, brass orchestras, and countless collaborations with artists of all genres. He has not shied from expressing his artistic vision on film (beginning with True Stories) along with soundtracks, including Grammy-winning music for the movie The Last Emperor. He has also branched into writing, most recently about his love of bicycling (Bicycle Diaries) in print, plus an interactive e-book explaining his view of How Music Works.
Crisscrossing creative outlets, Byrne has turned spaces into instruments (Playing the Building, an installation at New York’s Battery Maritime Museum) and incorporated dance movement in his last world tour supporting the album of songs written with Brian Eno, Everything That Happens Will Happen Today. His concept album with Fat Boy Slim chronicling the life of Imelda Marcos, Here Lies Love, evolved into an award-winning theatrical production. Byrne’s recent ties with BAM include performing in a tribute to William Onyeabor, and designing witty alphabet-based bike racks for BAM.
