————————

Nick Cave (b.1959) is an American artist known for his vibrant, immersive works that merge sculpture, performance, and fashion, often addressing themes of race, identity, and social justice. At FORMAT Festival 2022, he orchestrated daily “invasions” featuring his iconic Soundsuits—elaborate, wearable sculptures made from discarded materials—culminating in a special performance with composer Jlin and the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, co-commissioned by The Momentary.
