Inside the elevator that ascends six floors in the UW-Madison Humanities Building to reach the university?s art department, the aesthetics had sunk low, really low. Over the years the metal walls of the bare-bones, slightly rumbly elevator served as a magnet for 2D creativity, some of it intriguing, but a lot of it slapdash and much of it resembling graffiti more often found on the sides of a bathroom stall. Over and over, the hodge-podge returned ? until a staff meeting gave rise to an idea: Why not turn the elevator into a legitimate design space?
