For “Mammoth” 🦣 (the performance) to happen, I had to allow myself to be vulnerable — to relinquish a degree of control and rely on the character, ability, and strength of others. It all comes down to one thing: TRUST. It literally took an entire city of talent to bring a dream of this magnitude to life. DC WE DID IT! When performing in new cities, it is of utmost importance to have the opportunity to work, create, and build something alongside members of the local community. Although months went into the dreaming, making, planning, and preparation, many of YOU were ultimately confronted with a behemoth of a task. In just three short evenings, you were expected to learn the role, adapt to changes, and ultimately embody the Mammoth, center stage, for its debut performance. After much reflection, this is the appreciation post. To the entire SAAM team: thank you for not only believing in the work, but for hosting and facilitating the logistics of such a monumental performance with a message. To Sheldon Scott: thank you for connecting us with Woolly Mammoth. To Bob Faust: thank you for your partnership and efforts as Special Projects Director. To Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company: thank you for assembling such an incredible crew of practitioners and movers. To Sir Kahil ElZabar: thank you for the collaboration, the original score and for conducting the ensemble. To the musicians and vocalists: thanks for the beautiful sound to accompany the preformance. And to the practitioners and movers who put Mammoths on legs, setting them free to roam once again — thank you for your commitment, your generosity, your trust, and your willingness to leap into the unknown. To each and every person who contributed to “Mammoth” in any way — a MAMMOTH THANK YOU. 🦣 @americanart @faust_____specialprojects @kahilelzabar @woollymammothtc @sheldonascott Images 1-3: Paul Morigi, courtesy of SAAM @paulmorigi Image 5: @iamronjmccray *If you were a part of “Mammoth” please COMMENT 🦣❤️ 31 Oct 2026

WEEKEND RECAP AT SAAM… SWIPE for photos by Paul Morigi @paulmorigi, courtesy of SAAM Nick Cave x @faust_____specialprojects x @woollymammothtc x @kahilelzabar x 🦣🦣🦣🦣🦣🦣🦣🦣🦣🦣 x 32 movers x 16 practitioners at @americanart On Friday, October 23, visitors on the third floor of SAAM were met with an unannounced, surprise invasion of Mammoths! Emerging from Nick’s current exhibition, the behemoth prehistoric animals were activated by performers to complete a lap around the entirety of the third floor, filled with Contemporary and Modern Art. The temporarily revived, long-extinct animals were met with quiet awe and reverence. On Saturday, October 24, two performances unfolded before sold-out audiences in the museum’s spectacular Kogod Courtyard. A narrative conceived by Cave was paired with an original score composed by Sir Kahil El’Zabar. The ensemble played as vocalists perched atop lifeguard chairs bellowed, harmonized, and delivered heavenly calls. The Mammoths were “built” in real time by practitioners, then brought to life as quadrupedal creatures, perched atop the movers’ shoulders and set loose to roam the center of the courtyard. After navigating the landscape, the movers emerged from beneath the hair-wrapped armatures. In the final act, movers and practitioners gathered center stage for a friendly, joy-filled game of badminton, with shuttlecocks flying through the air. The performance explored ideas not only of family and lineage, but histories that have been/are being buried, obscured, or erased, only to resurface again. Many thanks are in order. Expect an appreciation post to follow soon! 29 Oct 2026

SWIPE FOR MORE 🦣. If the MAMMOTH🦣 rehearsals at SAAM are this photogenic, cant wait to see footage of tonight’s final showing! Here’s just a little tease… check out these amazing behind the scenes photos of dress rehearsal on 10/23. Images by Paul Morigi Photographer @paulmorigi . If you’re lucky enough to have gotten tickets, see you at 7:30 - if not, check back as footage becomes available. @americanart 24 Oct 2026

Curtains are about to go up! MAMMOTHS roam at 12:30 and 7:30. NICK CAVE X @woollymammothtc x @kahilelzabar - see you soon! It’s being filmed in its entirety and will be available at a later date. ❤️🦣 24 Oct 2026

Visitors to SAAM today witnessed a herd of mammoths come alive and march through the galleries. These mobile mammoths, activated by performers from @woollymammothtc, are part of a site‑specific performance that transforms the museum’s Kogod Courtyard into a living landscape animated by memory and imagination. Inspired by the current exhibition at SAAM, Nick Cave will bring his herd of mammoths to life through sound and movement. 23 Oct 2026

A MAJESTIC creature that once roamed the 🌎 - buried for ages, a mascot - representative of HISTORY itself… The question is: How do you bring that long-extinct 🦣 back to life? 1. Nick dreams up the seemingly impossible. 2. He heads to the local Chicago-based, metal powerhouse fabricator duo, Elizabeth and Ross Fiersten (@manifoldchicago ). 3. Together, over the course of months, probably year(s), Nick and Manifold joined forces to bring the 🦣 from the imaginary to reality. 11 🦣 in all! Once back in studio, the steel, naked armatures were painstakingly wrapped in hair by Nick. Then came the tusks and trunks…With 4 human preformers, the Mammoths now stand on 4 sets of legs and can roam once again. And when the original (currently on view of Fl. 3 of SAAM) was built, it just wasn’t big enough. So guess what? Nick goes BIGGER! 🦣 is also SCALE! Huge thanks to Elizabeth and Ross for always going BIGGER AND BETTER ❤️🦣 Image by Manifold Early Mammoth mock-up. Image by Jim Prinz ❤️ Cardboard templates for producing multiples. Image by Manifold.

BIGGER(rear-view)! Okay, TOO big to fit into the doors at SAAM! Glad we checked. Just remove the hump and make it a wee modular. 21 Oct 2026

While considering MAMMOTH 🦣—both the exhibition and the upcoming performances at SAAM (@americanart )—take a deep dive into @bombmag , Issue 177 / Fall 2026. Subscribe to read the interview! This issue features an excerpt from a conversation between Nick Cave and Jamillah James, Senior Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, for The Oral History Project. Their conversation traces the timeline of Nick’s upbringing and career while offering deeper context for the ideas behind his use of the woolly mammoth. At its core are deeply rooted ideas of family and lineage, alongside histories that have been buried, obscured, or erased, only to resurface again.

Focused on the fundamental connections between people and their environment, Nick Cave asks how we can begin to make sense of our relationship with a landscape that continues to evolve. How might we adapt, persevere, even thrive? In “Nick Cave: Mammoth,” the artist invites museum visitors to walk among the fantastical remains of these ancient creatures. His new project envisions a world animated by the power of the past and the transformative possibilities of the imagination. For “Mammoth,” Cave remakes SAAM’s galleries into an immersive environment marked by the crafted hides and bones of mammoths, a video projection of the long-dead animals come to life, and hundreds of transformed found objects—from vintage tools to his grandmother’s thimble collection—presented like paleontological specimens on a massive light table. By showcasing the ordinary and often forgotten bits and pieces of the world we live in, Cave’s work shines light on what we value and how we make meaning together. It evokes the lives and cultures we have lost, as well as the magical possibilities of a universe created through imagination and the humblest of materials. “Nick Cave: Mammoth” is currently on view at the Smithsonian American Art Museum through January 3, 2027.

Yesterday, a herd of Nick Cave’s Mammoths began their migration from the studio, bound for the courtyard of The Smithsonian (@americanart )in Washington, DC. Together, Nick Cave, composer @kahilelzabar , and @woollymammothtc will bring these extinct, prehistoric behemoths back to life. Through sound and movement, a collaboration of musicians, vocalists, practitioners and 50+ performers will culminate in two Mammoth performances on Saturday, October 24. Although tickets were limited and both performances are SOLD OUT, we hope to ease your FOMO by sharing daily tidbits, insights, and behind-the-scenes updates from the making of this extraordinary project. If your interest is piqued, follow along! FYI: There’s still time to visit the Smithsonian American Art Museum for “Nick Cave: Mammoth,” the exhibition, on view through January 3, 2027 18 Oct 2026

How does a 26-foot sculpture make its way into our sculpture park? This October marks the one-year anniversary of the @nickcaveart “Amalgam (Origin)” installation. In the full video, we take you behind the scenes of bringing this monumental work of art to our gardens. “Amalgam (Origin)” is part of Nick Cave’s exploration of identity, representation, movement and the human experience. At 26 feet tall, the work makes a striking addition to the Meijer Gardens sculpture collection and demonstrates the scale and complexity involved in installing contemporary sculpture. Watch the full video at YouTube.com/MeijerGardens — Nick Cave, Amalgam (Origin), 2024, Gift of Fred and Lena Meijer ©️ Nick Cave.

Nick Cave's newest commission, "Louder Still," 2025, is now on view in Room 1 of Glenstone Museum's Pavilions building in Potomac, Maryland. The installation is the artist's largest multi-figure Soundsuit to date, uniting eleven discrete forms beneath a single, monolithic textile hand-sewn with iridescent mother-of-pearl buttons. The oversized headpieces, shaped like gramophones and tuba horns, evoke music and the sounds of protest — themes Cave considers central to the work.
