Nick Cave is a leading voice in contemporary art, critiquing political, racial and social structures through assemblage sculptures that burst with color and life. His latest exhibition “Mammoth” is the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s largest ever commission by a single artist and has been in development since 2017, bringing together thousands of objects, costume and video to explore his own lineage and American history. CNN followed Cave and his team in the last few months of this monumental project.
