The Chicago-based artist Nick Cave originally rose to prominence for his “Soundsuits”—mixed-media, human-shaped sculptures he began creating after the 1991 beating of Rodney King. Cave said, “The Soundsuits hide gender, race, and class, and they force you to look at the work without judgment.” His new series of sculptures, “Amalgams,” contemplates public art and questions who is honored in memorials, as well as the meanings of victory and violence. Another new series, “Graphts,” transfers the bricolage style of Cave’s Soundsuits onto canvases, where patchwork nods to the tradition of quilting in Black American history as well as themes of domesticity and labor. The exhibition is quintessentially Cave in its poignant, sometimes biting commentary on racism and bias in America. —Lucy Horowitz
