グッゲンハイム美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (グッゲンハイム美術館Instagram)「#WorkoftheWeek: Kevin Beasley’s (@kevinmbeasley) “Strange Fruit (Pair 1)” was created specifically for the Guggenheim’s Frank Lloyd Wright-designed building. At its core are two Nike Air Jordan shoes, each paired with a microphone. Suspending these objects in space, Beasley compounds their technological interchange with additional layers of meaning, bringing to mind shoes hanging from overhead wires or poles (itself an open-ended form of communication). ⠀ The work’s title refers to history of lynchings in the American South memorialized by Bronx schoolteacher Abel Meeropol in the 1937 protest song “Strange Fruit.” In these contexts, the hanging forms of Beasley’s sculpture resonates 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 deplorable history of race and class in the United States. ⠀ New Yorkers, experience "Strange Fruit (Pair 1)" in person, currently on view in "Grief and Grievance: Art and Mourning in America" at the @newmuseum. ⠀ __ “Strange Fruit (Pair 1)” (2015), © Kevin Beasley #KevinBeasley #GuggenheimCollection #Guggenheim」2月23日 3時58分
