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.
Mays’s interdisciplinary practice is an exercise in wandering he often refers to as a practice-in-practice. Through sculpture and installation, sound, performance, and photography, Mays creates poetic gestures of observation and ritual, often anchored by objects and material fragments.
