The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago presented the first career-spanning survey of the internationally renowned Chicagoan Nick Cave.
Nick Cave: Forothermore is an ode to those who, whether due to racism, homophobia, or other forms of bigotry, live their lives as the “other”—and a celebration of the way art, music, fashion, and performance can help us envision a more just future.
Cave has been celebrated for projects that blend community building with vibrant works of art across disciplines, including immersive installations, textural sculptures, impeccably crafted fashion, and dynamic videos and performances.
The exhibition included never-before-seen works, including a continuation of the artist’s popular Soundsuits series with the premiere of Soundsuits 9:29, and a mesmerizing, site-specific installation, Spinner Forest, comprised of thousands of kinetic spinners that hung in the museum’s two-story atrium and fourth-floor lobby.
Nick Cave: Forothermore is on display from May 14 until October 2, 2022.
