Nick Cave At Mary Boone:
Just when you think you’re tired of Nick Cave and his sound suits, the artist ups and tops himself with a exhibition to rival all other exhibitions.
Part Where the Wild Things Are, part “your hoarder grandma’s knitting closet gone wild,” and part “neon witch doctor Dead Head,” Cave takes everyday objects such as sticks, sock monkeys, and pipe cleaners and makes them into massive, otherworldly costumes that he places on mannequins modelled after his own body. The pros at Mary Boone Gallery have displayed about 10 of these figures in a circus-ring like formation that transforms the formerly-stodgy gallery space into a PT Barnum-like freak show.

Financial Advice:
Sell Your Old Clothes.
We all have clothes just taking up room in our lives. .. Why not sell them for quick cash? Depending on where you are in the country, chances are you’re not far from a vintage or used clothing store that buys goods. Beacon’s Closet in NYC is one of the best. What about your neck of the woods?
