I attended the opening for Nick Cave: FEAT. Friday night and was instantly transported to a magical land of hallucinogenic technicolor, whimsical found objects and the very best Soundsuits I have ever seen. Approaching the exhibition space, guests are greeted by a huge wall plastered with an enormous vinyl of melting, dripping and blurring shapes and […]
Read more "Nick Cave FEAT."I saw my third Nick Cave Soundsuit in October of 2015 while visiting Washington, D.C. This city is pure heaven if you love museums as much as I do… and they are all free!

Read more "“Most Everyone’s Mad Here”"On our recent trip to Chicago, we dedicated an entire day to the Art Institute. It was gargantuan! We did our best to see as much as possible, but I know we missed entire galleries of assorted antiquities. I left feeling exhausted and overwhelmed… but in the best way possible. It was definitely a case […]
