Fowler Museum at UCLA
If you want to be amazed go see this show at the Fowler Museum. Nick Cave is a Chicago artist that makes these bodysuits which are sculptures and performative pieces all in one. Here is a video that gives you an idea of what this work is about. Let me know what you think...
I saw this show a few weeks ago and have gone back to see it again! There are several layers to this work that make it worth revisiting. The sculptural, the obsessive craftsmanship, the performative and the cultural context (which is more evident if you walk around the other exhibits at the Fowler) is all pretty amazing. One piece i was really interested in seeing was not there, a twig suit, but you can see it on some other websites.
