I had the opportunity to meet artist and performer Nick Cave yesterday. Seattle Art Museum is bringing a retrospective of his work February through May, 2011. Here’s a link to a video about his work:
In a question and answer session, the artist emphasized that the fullest experience for him in exhibiting comes when he can connect and work with the community. After the lecture, I had a chance to talk with Mr. Cave and with SAM curator, Pam McCluskey, about ways to structure Master Classes and workshops that would bring together fiber artists, parade artists, and community. There is much excitement there and much to be figured out before this time next year, but keep your ears and eyes open, you never know when a soundsuit will stroll down the streets of our sleepy hamlet.
