‘Stranger Than Kindness’ will offer insight into over fifty years of the shadowy icon’s work.
will offer the most comprehensive insight into the career and inspirations of the shadowy Australian cultural icon.
Spanning original artwork, handwritten lyrics, photography, and videos from sources including the singer’s own private collection, the Nick Cave Archive at Arts Centre Melbourne and the Royal Danish Library, the show takes stock of over 50 years of Nick’s life, tracing his evolution from childhood in Australia to the brooding international legend he’s known as today.
“What you see in this exhibition lives in the intricate world constructed around the song or book or script or score,” says Nick in his characteristically mysterious tone. “There is an enormous amount of this peripheral stuff -- drawings, maps, lists, doodles, photographs, paintings, collages, scribblings and drafts. These are not to be seen as artworks so much as the wild-eyed and compulsive superstructure that bears the song or book or scrip or score along.
The show promises to be “a spatial, multi-sensory exploration of his many real and imagined universes”, with the soundscapes heard across the exhibition’s eight rooms scored and recorded by Nick and his long-time musical collaborator Warren Ellis.
