A monograph and double LP, Kevin Beasley: A View of a Landscape offers an expansive and collaborative look at the artist’s work, illuminating how his practice is grounded in his family’s land in Virginia, which he considers in connection to larger American histories. An ambitious and wide-ranging presentation of Beasley’s work in sculpture, sound, and performance, A View of a Landscape includes essays by the artist as well as Andy Battaglia, Daphne A. Brooks, Adrienne Edwards, Leon Finley, Mark Godfrey, Thomas Lax, Ralph Lemon, Tiona Nekkia McClodden, and Fred Moten, with an introduction by curators Karsten Lund and Solveig Øvstebø. The accompanying double LP gathers newly recorded tracks by musicians and artists in Beasley’s close creative circles, produced in partnership with London-based record label Hyperdub. Each musician’s tracks uniquely sample recordings that Beasley made, some of them on his family land, reflecting an ongoing spirit of collaboration.
