About the Exhibition
This exhibition presents a new project by Nick Cave centered on the fantastical remains of ancient animals. It focuses on the power of the past and the transformative potential of imagination, exploring human connection to nature and everyday objects. Nick Cave is known for work combining stylish sound, performance, and fashion, and is especially widely known for his 'Soundsuits,' created in response to racial discrimination and police violence. In this exhibition, Cave brings a personal exploration of family history, land, and creativity tied to Charlton County, Missouri. The exhibition comprises 30 works in total, with the gallery filled with installations reinterpreting the remains of ancient animals. Visitors can gain a new perspective on nature and everyday objects through the exhibition, with the large-scale installation at the center of the gallery standing as its highlight.
