at MoMA

In his sculptures, Kevin Beasley (American, b.1985) explores spaces of ambivalence. His contribution to Some sweet day consists of a two-day performance in the Museum's Marron Atrium. Beasley takes on the role of DJ, mixing slowed-down a cappella tracks by deceased rappers from the 1990s with additional textures, rhythms, and feedback. Evoking and altering the social, emotional, and political contours of hip-hop, Beasley immerses the audience in a visceral soundscape that emphasizes the body's relationship to charged social conditions. More information.
