Chicago artist Nick Cave is currently showing at the Fowler Museum. We got a chance to interview him last year. Nick transforms found objects into what he calls “Soundsuits”. These suits are not just sculptural works but meant to be worn. Imagine wearing one of these to the next costume party you attend? Performers inside the suits emit noises, hence the title “Soundsuits”. The above image reminds me of our BD shirt: Explosion. Apparently Cave, an Alvin-Ailey trained dancer, plans to eventually have a world-traveling show with 90 Soundsuit-creatures.
These ar uber cool.
Exciting!
Fantastic!!!!
1,000 words are not enough

I know he is really awesome, if you guys like his work def check out the interview I did with him!

[...] Nick Cave é formado em “fibra textil” e em dança moderna. Flerta como a alta-costura, esculturas e a arte africana. Quando a gente junta um bocado de referências diversas e sacode tudo isso na cachola da gente, o resultado me parece ser sempre assim: inusitado e mágico. [...]
CANT WAIT TO SEE THEM PARADING AROUND IN THE STREETS. .!!
