Kevin Beasley draws inspiration from historic wartime structures called "concrete ears" to create a new sculpture at Storm King Art Center. This installation, unveiled as part of a major expansion, features colorful triptychs representing the seasons made from layers of secondhand clothing. Beasley aims to engage viewers not only visually but also acoustically by amplifying natural sounds around the installation, thereby creating an immersive experience that connects visitors with the surrounding landscape and its auditory ecosystem.
Walking through Storm King, visitors will discover Kevin Beasley's site-specific sculpture, inspired by World War relics, designed to amplify natural sounds and enhance the visitor experience.
His sculptures, layered with secondhand clothing, aim to reflect the cycle of seasons while also serving as listening devices to engage with nature.
