'Iconic Australian musician, songwriter and author Nick Cave is now the subject of his own exhibition. Go behind the music and into Nick's imagination and the sources of his unique vision through original lyrics, notebooks, artwork, photography and books. There will also be objects from the musician's own library and office, and rare and previously unavailable video and documentary footage.

This world-premiere exhibition is an insightful and playful journey through his connection with Melbourne, London, Berlin, Sao Paulo and Brighton, England. It will also explore the many phases of Nick's career including his work with The Boys Next Door, The Birthday Party, The Bad Seeds and Grinderman. Created and designed by the Victorian Arts Centre and curated by Janine Barrand, this exhibition draws from over 800 items generously donated by Nick Cave to the Arts Centre's Performing Arts Collection.'
