Nick Cave Returns With ‘Feat.’ Exhibition

Nick Cave's soundsuits and objects, created with upcycled materials, explore both identity and social issues while entertaining in their vibrancy. In a new exhibition at Orlando Museum of Art, “New Cave: Feat.,” a survey of work mostly created within the past decade is displayed. Cave was featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 20.

Nick Cave‘s soundsuits and objects, created with upcycled materials, explore both identity and social issues while entertaining in their vibrancy. In a new exhibition at Orlando Museum of Art, “New Cave: Feat.,” a survey of work mostly created within the past decade is displayed. Cave was featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 20.

“Along with broadcasting an increasingly urgent call for equity, Cave wants his art to spark viewers’ imaginations and aspirations,” the museum says. “This exhibition’s title, Feat., refers to the exceedingly hard work that goes into attaining success (it takes, for example, roughly seven hours to hand-sew just one square foot of a button soundsuit). It also plays on how talent is often listed in promotional materials—an appropriate nod to Music City and its creative community. Through this immersive installation, Cave hopes to provide a transformative place where your narrative can be featured and your dreams can soar.”

German artist Tobias Rehberger's work is all about illusion. His installations transform rooms into Op Art-inspired, immersive environments that trick the eye. Criss-crossing, black and white patterns flatten the three-dimensional spaces, confusing his viewers' sense of depth with busy patterns that continue from floor to ceiling. Rehberger's sculptures are similarly entrancing with their bright colors and geometric forms. Though abstract at a first glance, many of his works cast shadows that form textual messages, adding another dimension of experience to the pieces.
Inside a Charlotte studio, a hundred faces peer in different directions. These are the unsettling, yet engrossing sculptures of Dustin Farnsworth, a current resident at the McColl Center for Art + Innovation. As the artist prepared for his upcoming show, titled “Tell Me More,” he spoke to Hi-Fructose about his latest, massive works.
In his first solo museum exhibition, Chuck Sperry offers an array of his pop-infused, post-modernist works. “All Access: Exploring Humanism in the Art of Chuck Sperry" opens on Sept. 14 at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. Running alongside this exhibition is "Litmus Test: Works on Paper from the Psychedelic Era,” a survey of Wes Wilson, Victor Moscoso, and others, with blotter sheets from Sperry, Mark Mothersbaugh, H.R. Giger, and more.

Debra Baxter

Through two concurrent shows, Roq La Rue Gallery shows a pair of artists whose work carries crystalline forms. Debra Baxter's "Ghost Heart" and Rebecca Chaperon's "Incandescence" take over the gallery in April. Baxter’s sculptures, sometimes wearable, integrate natural forms into objects packed with both centuries-old narratives and humor. Chaperon’s surreal paintings share in Baxter’s fascination with the mystical, while also exploring escapism and the light and dark natures of the world.
