![]() In the gallery presentation, Cave co-opts ethnographic displays of natural history museums. He is at once playing the role of author and ethnographer. As I walked out, my friend Isabel and I wondered if he was merely capitalizing upon the culture of others. However, in investigating Nick Cave’s work, there seems to be a lot more to these costumes. Cave designs them for performance, they are part of an ongoing series that will come alive on stage. |
