Just over one week remains to see Kevin Beasley’s ‘Chair of the Ministers of Defense,’ 2016, on view through Saturday, December 17, at the Snite Museum of Art at Notre Dame.⁠ ⁠ The installation calls into focus Black liberation movements, which Beasley juxtaposes with baroque theatricality. Gathering an array of cultural and material signifiers—from Maasai and Zulu war shields to jeans, durags, and house dresses, all of which flank a vintage rattan peacock chair—Beasley’s installation reaches back through history to consider the visual construction of power: how it is presented, held, challenged, exhausted, or toppled. ⁠ ⁠ Photos: Mike Rippy⁠ ⁠ @kevinmbeasley @snitemuseum #KevinBeasley #ChairoftheMinistersofDefense #SniteMuseumofArt
