Available through Nick Cave’s website is the chance to virtually take a trip through his exhibition, Stranger Than Kindness. It’s a fascinating wander through his passions, inspiration, musings and the creative process itself.
Featuring artwork by Cave and a painting by old flame Anita Lane, to mocked-up studios, an old bedroom and library, ephemera, to art on the walls and film clips, it’s like a tiptoe into a febrile, restless, constantly evolving mind, which seems appropriate. I may not have enjoyed his last album so much, but this feels like a corrective, in a sense.
Originally, the exhibition was scheduled to start in Copenhagen… And then COVID happened. Thankfully, this virtual exhibition is available to all, six years later, with over 300 remarkable items on display.
