The Nick Cave Spectacular!
Nick Cave's, For Now at the Mary Boone gallery is shocking. When you turn the corner to see the artist’s work, you stammer back in surprise. The gallery-goers are treated to about 30 "people" frozen in playful positions, covered in wild, colorful and magnificent costumes. These costumes, or as he calls them, "soundsuits" are appropriately named considering if worn, which they can be, they would rustle and buzz with the sounds of their materials. Some are made from baskets and sticks, others are made from what looks like anything that could be found in a kids play pen or someone’s garage: small globes, pot holders, birdcages, quilts with cartoon characters, stuffed animals, and glitter. Nick Cave is African and the pieces have a tribal colorful celebratory feel. As you'll see in the video below, the pieces enhance what seems to be tribal or African style dances. They all have a sense of movement even though they are frozen in place. Seeing as all of the pieces are full body costumes, (they cover the face, the feet, legs and arms) they erase all identity. But perhaps they erase identity in a positive way, a way of reducing any judgment on any "type" of person that could be treated differently or poorly. Instead, they become a sort of joyous theater, a theater of equals, a theater of “psychedelic, functified freak show that is an accumulation of the decades from the perspective of voodoo woo-loo.” Check it out in action below.
