![]() ![]() In 2018, Cave wrote an open letter in response to a question about grief from someone named Cynthia. One of those is what originally pulled me into his murky world full of sex, saints and sacrifices. Reading the exhibition's dimly lit description, like the start of a dark labyrinth, I spot a mention of The Red Hand Files, an online forum where Cave directly answers fan questions. That's how I found myself at Stranger Than Kindness, an exhibition about the artist that he co-created, which made its North American debut at L'Astral in Montreal on April 8. But it was something else entirely that drew me to his work for the first time: his meditations on grief. Nick Cave has inspired fervent devotion from fans of his experimental art rock, novels and poetry, movie soundtracks and screenplays, and so much more art during his nearly 50-year career. Nick Cave sits at his desk in the Stranger Than Kindness exhibit in Montreal. ![]()
