Ms. Davey + Soundsuit = AWESOME!
That's right.... yours truly had the chance to dance around in a Nick Cave original Soundsuit! In mid march, I donned a soundsuit, mask and wig and shimmied through the halls of LPK design firm in downtown Cincinnati. The suits were made of colored straw, pom-pom-like material, and dyed hair.... crazy!
The soundsuit performances are intended to be an "invasion"... bringing art directly to people, interrupting their space and forcing you to sit up and take notice! With that in mind, we carried a CD player playing funky tunes and ran/danced through 6 floors of employees! Unsuspecting designers were taken by surprise as we swarmed the offices! We bombarded boardrooms, enveloped elevators and crowded cubicles.
see if you can spot me!!
The suits were hot- running, jumping and dancing didn't help! All of the volunteers agreed it was fun to take on a new identity for an hour, hidden behind a mask, dancing like a maniac! Don't forget to
check out the full exhibit at the Cincinnati Art Museum until the end of April!!
