Kevin Beasley's Accumulation as Medium at Regen Projects

Kevin Beasley's exhibition 'What Delineates the Edge' at Regen Projects in Los Angeles, on view through August 16, 2025, explores American consumer culture through accumulation. The show features mixed-media wall reliefs and floor sculptures made from resin, found objects, fabrics, and raw Virginia cotton. Works like 'Synthesizer III' and 'Synth XI' incorporate clothing, gingham, and T-shirts, while 'They know me better than anyone else' uses a barred plywood frame with carbon fibers. Beasley's earlier works include a 2014 DJ set at the Studio Museum in Harlem about Michael Brown's shooting and a 2018 Whitney solo debut with a cotton gin motor. The exhibition critiques collector and institutional demands, though some pieces lack clear commentary. The review is from the September 2025 issue of ArtReview.
