Nick Cave: Epitome

Nick Cave: Epitome

As electrifying and colorful as the "Soundsuits" it features, this survey of the renowned artist Nick Cave also features his latest performance work, public installations, and sculptural assemblages. Anyone whoâ‚¬s ever encountered one of Nick Caveâ‚¬s Soundsuitsâ‚¬"whether in a gallery or on the streetâ‚¬"canâ‚¬t help but be fascinated with these brightly hued, provocative constructions that function as both costume and sculpture. The most comprehensive survey of the artistâ‚¬s work to date, this large-format volume compiles the fantastic Soundsuits, for which the artist is best known, together with his other sculptural work and related projects in video and live performance. The book chronicles the artistâ‚¬s ingenious use of materials, which began with a Soundsuit constructed entirely from twigs and has since ranged from secondhand rugs and other thrift-store finds to feathers, buttons, beading, and rainbow-dyed synthetic hair. Dazzling images of Caveâ‚¬s Soundsuits are presented alongside video stills and performance views that capture the current of joyful energy that runs throughout the work. Essays by Elvira Dyangani Ose and Nato Thompson provide an illuminating critical context for the artistâ‚¬s practice, and an interview by Andrew Bolton explores the artistâ‚¬s working process and inspirations. Beautiful, insightful, and exciting, this volume will be a must-have for Caveâ‚¬s ever-growing audience.
