Nick Cave: Forothermore  comprehensively investigates aspects of Cave’s career that are grounded in key aesthetic and ethical commitments: the artist primarily works with found objects and existing materials, making “something from nothing;” he creates objects that are as legible to art mavens as they are to those without a formal education; he collaborates with others embedding a sense of community within his projects; and he sensitively incorporates life-altering historical events into works that celebrate his creative roots while addressing ongoing injustice.
