Sonia Boyce transforms the DMA’s Concourse with a large-scale wallpaper that continues her longstanding engagement with music. The seventh iteration of the Museum’s Concourse mural commission, the work features a vibrant pattern inspired by a wallpaper design drawing by American artist Peter Todd Mitchell that Boyce selected from the DMA’s permanent collection. Within the repeating gilded frame motif of the floor-to-ceiling installation, Boyce has embedded the names of 100 songs spanning a range of eras and genres with “love” in their titles, a word that appears perhaps more than any other in popular music.
