Gucci and Danish foundation Beckett-Fonden will be the main sponsors of the Nick Cave exhibition, “Stranger Than Kindness”, at The Black Diamond in Copenhagen, Denmark, from March 23 to October 3, 2020.
The Royal Danish Library and Arts Centre Melbourne worked in collaboration with Cave for the upcoming exhibition at The Black Diamond, the modern extension to the Royal Library.
Nick Cave, best known as the frontman of Australian rock band Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, has built a legacy as a consummate performer and songwriter for more than 40 years. He is a regular guest at Gucci’s fashion shows and events, and a good friend of creative director Alessandro Michele.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds released their 17th studio album “Ghosteen” in October 2019 to critical acclaim, with a number of music media outlets rating the album five out of five.

Away from the band, Cave covers a broad scope of artistic endeavours – including composing film scores and writing novels. He engages directly with fans through his blog, The Red Hand Files.
In addition to handwritten lyrics and set designs, the Nick Cave Exhibition will host original artwork by the cultural icon, as well as literature, photography, videos and personal artefacts over eight rooms in The Black Diamond.
The exhibition will showcase more than 300 objects from Cave’s body of work, from his personal collection, the Nick Cave archive at Arts Centre Melbourne, the collections of the Royal Danish Library and private lenders.

The “Stranger Than Kindness” exhibition will also feature large scale installations and atmospheric soundscapes in keeping with Cave’s own emotional intensity and affinity for experimentation. Cave and bandmate Warren Ellis composed and recorded the soundscapes for exhibition. They have a rich portfolio of film scores, including 2007 motion picture, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, starring Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck, as well as 2016 neo-Western, Hell or High Water.
For those who can’t make it to Copenhagen, Canongate will publish an accompanying autobiography, Stranger Than Kindness, in March.
