Krátky popis
From award-winning musician and composer Warren Ellis comes the
unexpected and inspiring story of a piece of chewing gum. Featuring
an introduction from Nick Cave. 'Warren has turned this memento,
snatched from his idol's piano in a moment of rapture, into a
genuine religious artefact.'NICK CAVE'In praise of meaning-rich
relics and magical things.Totally heartwarming project.'MAX
PORTER'A unique study of a fan's devotion, of transcendence and of
the artistic vocation - it's got depth and great warmth. It's a
beautiful piece of work.'KEVIN BARRYOn Thursday 1 July, 1999, Dr
Nina Simone gave a rare performance as part of Nick Cave's Meltdown
Festival. After the show, in a state of awe, Warren Ellis crept
onto the stage, took Dr Simone's piece of chewed gum from the
piano, wrapped it in her stage towel and put it in a Tower Records
bag.The gum remained with him for twenty years, a sacred totem, his
creative muse, growing in significance with every passing year. In
2019, Cave - his collaborator and great friend - asked Warren if
there was anything he could contribute to display in his Stranger
Than Kindness exhibition. Warren realised the time had come to
release the gum.Together they agreed it should be housed in a glass
case like a holy relic. Worrying the gum would be damaged or lost,
Warren decided to first have it cast in silver and gold, sparking a
chain of events that no one could have predicted, one that would
take him back to his childhood and his relationship to found
objects. Nina Simone's Gum is about how something so small can form
beautiful connections between people.It is a story about the
meaning we place on things, on experiences, and how they become
imbued with spirituality. It is a celebration of artistic process,
friendship, understanding and love.
