Nick Cave has been making Soundsuits for nearly 20 years, and though they've been lauded in the art world, their spread in Vogue's September Issue secured Cave a whole new brand of recognition.
“Nick Cave: Meet Me at the Center of the Earth is an invitation by the artist to break free from the confines of our daily life and travel to a place in which imagination is unencumbered,” said SAM’s Pamela McClusky, Curator of African and Oceanic Art. “Nick Cave is an extraordinary artist whose work is a true confluence of art, movement and sound that is impossible to resist.”
After leading you through a magical, mystical, fantastic journey, interwoven with nostalgia, memory, and the transformative, Meet Me at the Center of the Earth culminates with SoundSuitShop | SAM, an immersive shopping experience in the last gallery of the exhibition.
SoundSuitShop was created to share the art of Nick Cave with a wider audience than his exhibitions can possibly reach. These simple, practical items transport Nick’s richly patterned, highly conceptual Soundsuits into the realm of everyday life. The quality and ingenuity of every SoundSuitShop item make them easy to wear, share or simply enjoy. Expect every SoundSuitShop product to spark thought, conversation and even pure wonder. Each product has been carefully sourced and designed to outperform other products in its category. As Nick's work evolves, so does SoundSuitShop’s selection. Product quantities will be limited to a single production run; we hate to disappoint, so please order early.
