THE STEPHEN FLEISCHMAN<br />
LECTURESHIP WITH NICK CAVE<br />
AND BOB FAUST<br />
Saturday, April 13 • 6 PM • Lecture Hall<br />
Free Admission<br />
<strong>MMoCA</strong> is pleased to announce that the <strong>2024</strong> Stephen Fleischman Lectureship will feature artists Nick<br />
Cave and Bob Faust in conversation about their multi-disciplinary creative space Facility.<br />
Run by artists Nick Cave and Bob Faust, Facility is a hub for artists, artisans, designers, and architects.<br />
Located in Chicago, the space hosts a myriad of pop-up special projects such as exhibitions, performances,<br />
and educational opportunities. Facility offers interactive and inclusive contemporary art experiences<br />
focused on the communities they serve. Nick Cave and Bob Faust’s exhibition AMENDS was on display<br />
in The Shop at <strong>MMoCA</strong> in Summer 2021.<br />
Nick Cave is an artist and educator, working between the visual and performing arts through a wide range<br />
of mediums including sculpture, installation, video, sound, and performance. Cave is best known for his<br />
Soundsuits, sculptural forms based on the scale of his body, initially created in direct response to the<br />
police beating of Rodney King in 1991. Bob Faust creates visual, visceral, and contextual art experiences<br />
that inspire and/or instigate action. He is the principal and creative director for Faust, a cultural branding<br />
and communications studio as well as the studio/special projects director for Nick Cave, where he<br />
collaborates on both exhibition design and performance works.<br />
The Stephen Fleischman Lectureship was established to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Fleischman’s<br />
tenure as <strong>MMoCA</strong>’s director. An endowment provides for an annual lecture by individuals who have made<br />
exceptional contributions to art and culture. Talks organized for the Stephen Fleischman Lectureship are<br />
held each year in April and have free admission, in recognition of the Museum’s dedication to providing<br />
access to opportunities for learning and enrichment<br />
Admission to this event is free and advance registration is recommended.<br />
