Really cool costume?.. clothing?.. art

Jul 15

There are a couple of artists using costumes in a sculptural sense that I really enjoy. The first is Nick Cave. He is pretty well known for his ‘sound suits’. These are full figure garb that create in my mind a mystical monster.

I feel that without knowing too much about him, Nick Cave must have some inspiration from Mardi Gras Indian costumes. All of the elaborate bead work, the colors…

Beyond Nick Cave, I enjoy looking at the work of the Poncili Creación collective. They seem to do performance art with these figures.

Kind of opposite of Nick Caves work, this is crude styrofoam, spray paint, and seems to have been done quickly. It’s more raw, but fun.
