NICK CAVE: FEAT

Organized by the Frist Art Museum, Nashville, Tennessee

Glenbow is thrilled to present Nick Cave: Feat, the first exhibition in Canada solely dedicated to this singular and extraordinary artist.

Based in Chicago, Cave is one of America’s most acclaimed contemporary artists. His creations, bursting with colour and texture, are optical delights that can be enjoyed by audiences of all ages and backgrounds. A deeper look reveals that they speak to issues surrounding identity and social justice, specifically race, gun violence and civic responsibility. Along with broadcasting an increasingly urgent call for equity, Cave wants his art to spark viewers’ imaginations and aspirations.

This major touring exhibition features the artist’s signature soundsuits – human-shaped sculptures which Cave originally created in response to racial profiling in the wake of the beating by police of Los Angeles motorist Rodney King in 1992 – as well as dazzling installation works and a mesmerizing video projection of a soundsuit in motion.

Through this immersive exhibition Cave hopes to provide a transformative place where your dreams can soar.

Glenbow is the only Canadian stopover for Nick Cave: Feat.
