[DRUMMING]

[KEVIN BEASLEY] --There's not going to be a beginning...

[DRUMMING]

--I think that's enough to start.

[DRUMMING]

[CLAP]

So right now,

I've been putting a lot of energy into an exhibition at the Whitney,

which is my first major solo exhibition here in the city.

The project is multiple parts.

There is a sound installation,

that is rooted around a cotton gin motor,

and three large sculptural works.

The work really comes out of an experience I had at a family reunion

in Valentines, Virginia, in the summer of 2011.

I drove down from New Haven.

The property has a meandering road that leads to the house.

I look up, and I see the fields are planted.

I stopped the car and I looked,

and I was like, "Whoa, what is that?"

And I rolled the window down, and I saw that it was cotton.

It struck me in a way that I couldn't quite wrap my head around.

Emotionally, it was too heavy.

Mentally, it was too heavy.

I felt like I hadn't reconciled something.

I was like, "Why am I so mad at this plant?"

This plant is not doing anything other than growing and being beautiful.

I felt like, okay, there's a lot of unpacking that has to happen.

--You know, I want to actually point to this cotton here.

--This here has all been ginned.

--This is all cotton from Virginia,

--Valentines, Virginia.

Using cotton, raw cotton, as a material is really important,

because as materially-oriented as I am,

it's all because there is a context for those materials.

For the exhibition, there will be three large sculptural works.

I've been calling them slabs, because of their relationship to architecture.

They're made from wildly different materials.

--This is a sweater.

--It's a Yale cotton,

--really nice, preppy sweater.

--And then these are some durags, some blue ones.

--For this they're going to represent a river,

--or some sort of flowing water.

Every material has some sort of history or life that it's lived.

They become ways of telling stories.

--This is a collar from my cap and gown, when I graduated from Yale.

When I think about cotton, it takes me everywhere.

You think about politics.

You think about social relationships you have.

You think about economics.

Reparations.

It all just unfolds and is laid out.

These pages come from an atlas of the Transatlantic slave trade.

It's remarkable that these records have been kept for so long

and in such detail.

But it's also indicative of trade and commerce.

You keep track of every single thing, every movement,

because there's money and there's capital involved.

But these were bodies.

Being a Black person in this current state,

that's what you're encouraged to do-- is to move on.

Like, "Ok, there's been time."

"There's been space," right?

It's a false narrative.

But it also is one that you feel the pressure from.

That to me is an essential aspect of making sculpture.

You have to deal with its materiality.

These works, I think, they demand that.

They demand you to confront them,

because they're confronting you.

[DRUMMING]

[DRUMS STOP, SILENCE]

I was searching for a cotton gin.

I had cotton, and I was thinking,

maybe I could make t-shirts, or I can make garments.

I went on eBay,

searching for a small hand-held, hand-cranked thing,

and the first thing I came across was an ad for this large cotton gin motor.

I felt like it was telling me what I needed to do.

The cotton gin was invented by Eli Whitney in 1794.

What it does is it separates the fibers from the seeds,

which was the most time-consuming part for slaves.

People thought that it would decrease the number of slaves.

But it actually had the opposite effect,

because more land was acquired, plantations got larger.

It actually increased the number of slaves.

The cotton gin motor is encased in a sound-proof glass chamber,

and primarily came out of this decision to be able to experience

and see the motor running, and not hear it.

That came out of a conversation with the former owner,

where, when I asked him about what it sounded like,

he couldn't articulate.

He didn't have the words to really describe that sound.

It was really something that you had to experience for yourself.

--Okay.

Sound has always been important to me.

It has increasingly become a way for me to process the world.

Sound is just as physical and tactile as any other material.

[PROCESSED SOUND OF COTTON GIN MOTOR]

[SILENCE]

How do you deliver that physicality, or that tactility of something you can't see,

or something that you don't feel in a traditional way?

[PROCESSED SOUND OF COTTON GIN MOTOR]

It shakes your insides.

You feel the vibrations.

Do people want to sit and listen to this?

Do they want to take the time to consider

what that sound is, and where it is coming from?

I'm interested in people asking what their relationship is to this material--

to see a wall of cotton that comes from a really specific place,

the American South--

just to think about what their relationship is to that,

and how do they feel implicated, if at all.

Are we really taking the time to process and understand these things?

So I think setting up a scenario where people can take the time

is as much as I can really offer.

Wob: Predicting the NBA All-Star Draft … and What Every Pick Really Means - Duration: 6:58.

 Not everyone is married, engaged or in a relationship. No judgment here. But regardless of your marital status, we can all relate to that one person we know who has faced the impossible dilemma of choosing a best man or maid of honor for their wedding

 Sometimes it's easy: You choose a brother, a sister, or a blood relative you've always been close with

 No one will ever question your decision in this instance, and all your best friends can be groomsmen and/or bridesmaids

 But for those who are only children and/or don't have that obvious-to-everyone family member to stand next to them at the altar, the choice usually comes down to ranking members of your inner circle

 I can only speak for myself, but from childhood through my 30s, I've run with the same group of friends at every turn of life

 I value my relationship with all of them equally and hope they feel the same way about everyone in the group

So, since I'm an only child, in a hypothetical situation in which I (gulp) were to get engaged: Who would be the best man?  It's impossible to pick one without making the others feel jealous or less important

I would never do that, I'd break the rules and make them all it or none at all.  But there are similar situations outside of marriage where you don't have the option to use loyalty as an excuse to bend the law

 One of those is happening on Thursday as the NBA All-Star Draft will be broadcast to the world

  Wob: My 7 Stages of Grief After the Porzingis TradeRead now  Here's how the event works: The NBA's best players are figuratively lined up against the wall

 LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo get the burden of picking the players who join their team one-by-one until everyone is claimed

 There is a slight catch to this playground method of choosing teams, as the players who were voted in as starters must be selected first before the captains can move on to the reserve pool

 Since LeBron was the leading vote-getter, he goes first. He and Giannis will alternate picks until all 10 starters have been assigned

 Then, when the reserves become available, Giannis receives the first pick. Credit: Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports

Pictured: Giannis Antetokounmpo  There is no running and hiding. How LeBron and Giannis make their picks may be the biggest clue of what could transpire during the upcoming, blockbuster free agency of 2019

 (I am only kind of overreacting, I promise.)  It's time. Let us over-analyze the 2019 NBA All-Star Draft, predict its order, and talk about what it all means

1. LEBRON: Kyrie Irving  "I know you're with 'em now, but soon you will be mine. If I could bring it back, I'll probably press rewind

"  We all saw the video.    We all saw Kyrie's admission and apology.    They couldn't possibly …  … COULD THEY?  LeBron never tweets anything by accident

This man is somehow more of a surgeon on social media than he is on the court or behind-the-scenes influencing managerial positions at the executive level

 Everything he posts is made available for multiple avenues of interpretation with several alibis to defend his innocence in case he's ever called out for propagandizing an agenda

  NBA Trade Deadline Warnings: Deals All 30 Teams Shouldn't MakeRead now  In the event Irving's apology and LeBron's acceptance is genuine, we could be headed for one of the most unlikely reunions in NBA history

 It was just two years ago that Kyrie demanded a trade away from James in a dramatic fallout between the two stars

You can't put toothpaste back in the tube. You can't rebuild bridges in which the land adjacent to the river was incinerated in the burning

 How is this even remotely possible? Credit: Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports. Pictured: Kyrie Irving and LeBron James  If they truly are interested in getting back together … and now that Kyrie is publicly back-pedaling on his preseason plans to re-sign with the Celtics this summer … the Lakers and their one available max contract roster spot turn their eye to Irving like Sauron realizing Frodo just put on the ring inside Mount Doom

 Since Anthony Davis can't be chosen until pick No. 9 at the earliest, there is no better way for LeBron to tell Kyrie "let's get back together" than the gesture of picking him first

 This is and will be the first step of all hell being broken loose.   Moore's NBA Trade Deadline Primer: What I'm Hearing on Anthony Davis, Grizzlies, MoreRead now  Remember: Kyrie is a Celtic and LeBron is a Laker

While the two have not been in the trenches of their respective fronts for all that long, this is the Capulets vs

Montagues of basketball. Decades of rivalry, animosity, tension, and blood-shedding by the soldiers involved

The names on the backs of the jerseys change, but never the ones on the front.  LeBron has an opportunity to do himself a SOLID with Purple & Gold nation by torturing Celtics fans with this "candy on the floor" trail, leading Kyrie to Los Angeles and rekindling the Cleveland Cavaliers glory days

 Remember: Kyrie was the one who called LeBron to say sorry. Kyrie was, in this instance, the initiator

If LeBron truly accepts his apology, there is no better way to say thank you than drafting him first

It all makes just too much sense. 2. GIANNIS: Joel Embiid  Giannis showed his cards early

   "If I can pick Joel Embiid and Russell Westbrook on the same team, I'll do it

"  He wants fighters on his team because he fills the "lover" category himself.  What better way to begin than choosing the biggest troll the NBA has ever seen who backs up his pettiness with the skill set of Hakeem Olajowuon, the physical dominance of Shaquille O'Neal, and the mouth of Charles Barkley?  Giannis has no loyalties to protect or free agency max slot to tempt Kawhi Leonard/Kevin Durant with

 It will be Embiid. Read the rest of this article for FREE in our app Or EDGE subscribers can enjoy all articles anytime, anywhere CONTINUE IN THE APP START FREE TRIAL
