グッゲンハイム美術館のインスタグラム(guggenheim) - 2月28日 03時22分

In 2015, Kevin Beasley's work "Strange Fruit (Pair 1)" entered the Guggenheim's collection and was exhibited with a second sculpture, "Strange Fruit (Pair 2)" in "Storylines: Contemporary Art at the Guggenheim." Beasley's use of sculpture and sonic performance to explore the cultural connotations of objects and sound is apparent in both works, made of resin-coated sneakers embedded with live microphones and paired with speakers. Suspending these objects in the space of the Guggenheim's rotunda, Beasley brings to mind the urban phenomenon of shoes hanging from overhead wires or poles. At the same time, the works’ titles refer to history of lynchings in the American South memorialized by Bronx schoolteacher Abel Meerepol in the 1937 protest song “Strange Fruit.” In these contexts, the hanging forms of Beasley’s sculptures resonate not only with his body, which molded them by hand, or with the bodies moving through the museum, but also with those inscribed in the problematic histories of race and class in the United States.
