Nick Cave-Fiber Artist Extraordinaire
Saturday, May 31, 2008
One of my favorite singers….nonono-we’re talking about my favorite visual artist: Nick Cave!
I went to a lecture today at the De Young Museum made possible by the Artwear in the Gallery event that we did back in November. The speaker was Gerhardt Knodel who directed Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan from 1970 to 1995. He presided over Cranbrook during its transformation into a Fiber Art “Hot House.” The slide presentation was such a feast for the eyes! Meanwhile, I can daydream of graduate school….
Nick Cave’s work has been popping up on my radar and setting bells off all over the place and it turns out that he is a Cranbrook graduate. His collaged wearable art is so sumptuous in its color and forms. How brilliant!
