Local art fans likely recognize the work of Nick Cave, who makes his âsoundsuitsâ out of fabric and found objects. In a city devoted to costuming, his sculptures would seem to be of obvious interest, and his works of contemporary art have been featured in Prospect New Orleans and expos at the New Orleans Museum of Art and Contemporary Arts Center.
Caveâs work on the installation of a massive cloudlike sculpture covered in found objects at Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA) is threaded through âMuseum Town,â a documentary about the creation of the institution in North Adams, a former mill town in western Massachusetts.
