Nick Cave ❤️
– wearable sculptures made of a host of dazzling found objects like buttons, sequins, artificial flowers and stuffed animals – are on show. They resemble the masquerades of West African cultures, such asof Yorubaland, Nigeria, but in the context of Cave’s work, they are rooted in an event more sinister than their vibrant appearance suggests.
The one thing that I know that cannot be taken from us is dreaming. We have always dreamt of what we strive to get to. “The one thing that I know that cannot be taken from us is dreaming. We have always dreamt of what we strive to get to” – Nick CaveThey are a pushback on the constant assault. We always have to come up with ways to position ourselves and armour ourselves in order to navigate ourselves.Your artworks invite and insist upon further inquiry. The more you engage with them, the more they give you back the truth.
EE: I think it’s the capacity for the work to speak so patiently and eloquently about all sorts of sorrow and beauty simultaneously. We walk through the doors of the exhibition, and we’re already somewhere that’s removed from where we were. We’re in a space where we can anticipate encounters that are exciting and exhilarating. I started the show with these works because they took my breath away, and I think they do that with other people.
EE: I’d first conceived of the show about four years ago. So yes, before the recent upsurge. Artists have been making this kind of work for years upon years and I wanted to create a space of opportunities for people to catch up with that. But also, to recognise that we can look at each of these artists individually and their work is powerful and moving. But, when we look at them collectively, there’s a conversation in one form or another that is taking place.
