The source of inspiration for The High Rise Show is 1980 The Times Square Show in New York City. It was a self-curated collaborative show on four floors of an abandoned building in Times Square. It discovered the work of many of the most sought after contemporary artists of our time including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jenny Holzer, Keith Haring, Nan Goldin, Kenny Scharf, and Kiki Smith.
