Nick Cave – The Exhibition is currently touring the country, showcasing “original lyrics, notebooks, artwork, photography and books” from the great man. It’s the kind of thing only Nick Cave could get away with. Having started its circuit in Melbourne, the exhibition is currently showing in Brisbane. After that stint is up, Nick’s stuff will move on to Perth and Canberra. Oh, and it’s free!

If you’re wondering what you’ll be seeing amongst the Bad Seed’s belongings, check out FasterLouder’s Snapshot gallery. Thanks to the kind people at The Arts Centre, we’ve got some of the exhibition’s highlights to show off. Don’t hold back on the swooning. There’s also a cool documentary to accompany the show.
