Kevin Beasley: Plastic/Soul/Capture/Play – Notes in Public
@ Hutchinson Courtyard, The University of Chicago
1131 E 57th St, Chicago, IL 60637
Opening Saturday, April 6th, at 6:30PM
Multidisciplinary artist Kevin Beasley (b. 1985, Lynchburg, VA) invites viewers to imagine future and past currents of memory through sculptural experiments and resonant soundscapes. Beasley’s practice incorporates a wide range of found materials and harvested sounds with ties to cultural heritage and personal histories. Wielding everything from durags to riot gear, the artist transforms component parts into haunting assemblages that engage troubled legacies of race and power in America. Beasley frequently weaves sound into his work to create immersive sonic environments with manipulated recordings or live performances, engulfing the viewer in a soulful constellation of visual and auditory reference. These creations defy categorization, existing simultaneously as sculptural form, soundscape, performance, and painting.
