Nick Cave: Until

This generously illustrated book takes readers inside Nick Caveâ€™s newest work: an enormous, elaborate journey through the workings of the artistic mind. Nick Caveâ€™s "Soundsuits"â€”exuberant, brightly colored wearable sculptures adorned with buttons, hair, toys and other found objectsâ€”have made him one of the best-known contemporary artists. This book documents his most extensive work to date, turning his art inside out. Until fills MASS MoCAâ€™s football field- sized gallery, without a single Soundsuit to be found. Instead Cave takes us inside the belly of one of his iconic sculptures with an immersive environment populated by a dazzling array of found objects, echoing some of Caveâ€™s and Americaâ€™s most confounding dilemmas: gun violence, racial inequality, injustice within our citiesâ€™ police departments, and death. An installation diary and numerous images reveal how an idea becomes reality. Until also incorporates special appearances by dancers, singer/ songwriters, and poets, as well as community forums, and opportunities for public debate and engagement. Transcripts of the first of these events accompany the bookâ€™s illustrations. This book features an essay by exhibition Curator Denise Markonish, commentary by David Byrne and Lori E. Lightfoot that contextualizes Caveâ€™s work against todayâ€™s headlines, and an excerpt from Claudia Rankineâ€™s Citizen: An American Lyric. Powerful and transformative, Until promises to take its place among the eraâ€™s most important artistic statements.
