Summary: The definitive volume on the ever-evolving and shape-shifting work of the Chicago-based artist, Nick Cave: 'Forothermore' highlights the way Cave's practice has shifted and continues to shift in response to our history and current moment of cultural crisis. Including several new, never-before-seen works, the book shows an artist at the height of his power. Addressing topics ranging from art history to social justice, 'Nick Cave: Forothermore' includes essays from Naomi Beckwith, Romi Crawford, Antwaun Sargent, Malik Gaines, Krista Thompson and Meida Teresa McNeal. Punctuating these contributions is an interview with the artist exploring his life, work and teaching practice, as well as a roundtable discussion between Cave and dancer Damita Jo Freeman, musician Nona Hendryx and publisher Linda Johnson Rice, on Cave's art and influences, as well as pivotal cultural phenomena from 'Soul Train' to 'Ebony' magazine. 'Nick Cave: Forothermore' reveals the way art, music, fashion and performance can help us envision a more just future. Exhibition: Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, USA (14.05-02.10.2022).
