This exhibition is the largest scale presentation of the work of Chicago-based artist Nick Cave to date.
Cave combines aspects of sculpture, fashion design, dance and video art in his larger than life ‘Soundsuits’. These full body, form fitting ‘suits’ are layered and textured with metal, plastic, found objects, and colorfully dyed human hair designed to rattle, swish, and resonate in rhythm with the movements of the wearer, usually Cave himself.

Located in scenic Eden Park, the Cincinnati Art Museum features an unparalleled art collection of more than 60,000 works spanning 6,000 years. In addition to displaying its own broad collection, the Art Museum also hosts several national and international traveling exhibitions each year. Director of the Cincinnati Art Museum is Aaron Betsky.
