Marisol Sol Escobar (1930- present)

The Venezuelan sculptor heavily inspired by pre-Columbian artefacts, famed for her unique, often satirical, abstract works.

Recent years have seen her included in ‘MoMA at El Museo’, an exhibition of Latin American artists displayed by the Museum of Modern art in 2004, and a major retrospective hosted in 2014 by the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art in Memphis, Tennessee.

We Love:

Sebastian Smee, ‘Revisiting Marisol, years after her heyday’, The Boston Globe (July 5th, 2014), for an excellent and readable summary of her imaginative, tongue-in-cheek work.

This is not your garden variety portrait! One of the most amazing things about artist Nick Cave’s sculpture is the material. Cave collects thrift-store finds and everyday objects to build his fantastically magical “soundsuits”. See this one in person, along with other works that redefine — and reimagine! — what makes a portrait. “Portraits and Other Likenesses from SFMOMA,” opens May 8th at MoAD →

[Nick Cave, “Soundsuit” (2009)]  ‪#PortraitsRedefined

[hifructosemag]

Interdisciplinary artist Nick Cave — known for his wearable sculptures called “soundsuits” featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 20 — recently opened his solo exhibition, “Sojourn,” at theDenver Art Museum. The exhibition’s title is perhaps a nod to the transformative powers of the soundsuit, which is said to psychologically transport its wearer to a realm of fantasy beyond the limitations of the human body. While Cave’s previous work has been vibrantly textured and colorful, for part of “Sojourn,” he opts for a galactic theme, presenting metallic and bejeweled soundsuits reminiscent of disco balls and sci-fi space shuttles. The colorful and furry suits are also present, adorned with floral patterns and even tree branch structures built up around the sculptures.

In conjunction with “Sojourn,” Nick Cave and Bob Faust collaboratively designed an interactive exhibition titled “Second Skin.” The family-friendly counterpart of “Sojourn,” “Second Skin” invites viewers to decorate their own soundsuits with felt ornaments. Take a look at some photos from “Sojourn” and “Second Skin,” images courtesy of the Denver Art Museum. The exhibitions will be on view through September 22.

nick cave’s fall show spans jack shainman gallery’s two spaces; and neither include a soundsuit, of which cave is most famous for. the pieces in the show are made of found objects, especially pieces that carry deep racial undertones. cave turns these pieces into shrines of a particular sort. draped in beads and ceramic birds and lamps, weight-bearing figurines appear to be converted into heavy, deeply saddening objects that memorialize a bygone era in a manner that is somehow, unsettlingly celebratory.
