About Nick Cave

Nick Cave was born in Fulton, Missouri, in 1959. He is a multidisciplinary artist working across mediums such as sculpture, installation, performance, and film. Cave is best known for a series of works titled Soundsuits—surreally majestic objects blending fashion and sculpture—that originated as metaphorical suits of armor in response to the Rodney King beatings and have evolved into vehicles for empowerment. Fully concealing the body, the Soundsuits serve as a second skin that obscures race, gender, and class, allowing viewers to look without bias toward the wearer’s identity. Cave regularly performs in the sculptures himself, dancing either before the public or for the camera, activating their full potential as costume, musical instrument, and living icon.

About Bob Faust

Bob Faust was born in Chicago in 1967. He is a design artist drawing upon the language and tools of the publishing world and capitalizing on his expertise as a typographer. Bob makes special projects born in the space between art and design, believing these are the two most powerful tools for social change, and he adeptly employs both to make purpose-driven work. Faust has been recognized nationally and internationally for his creativity and clarity through many prestigious exhibitions and publications, such as the Society of Typographic Arts, Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, DSGN CHGO, Communication Arts, and Chicago Design Museum.
