For the past month, the Fowler Museum of Cultural History has been showing the works of Nick Cave, an American artist not to be confused with Nick Cave, the Australian musician. He specializes in making soundsuits, dancing costumes made up of all sorts of materials such as sequins and spin tops and ceramic birds; they make very interesting sounds when people dance in them. To promote artist interpretations of his work, the museum hosted a poetry reading inviting students from UCLA to read their creative stories or poems inspired by his costumes.
