Casey Kaplan

RSVP required via Eventbrite or by emailing events@caseykaplangallery.com as space is limited.
All I thought / I loved, Kevin Beasley’s fifth exhibition at Casey Kaplan, recasts his relationship to landscape through a years-long inquiry into the inherited and regenerative resonance of a site. Set in part on his family’s century-old property in Valentines, Virginia, the exhibition renders image, material and memory in oscillating focus. Newly developed techniques trigger a different mode of remembering, grounded in shifting conditions of light and color keyed to the time of day, and as intuited landscape that is sensed rather than fixed in view. Across a new body of resin paintings, video, cotton-based and cast resin sculptures, landscape is not rendered so much as it is built to surface—an accumulation of atmosphere and lived experience, slipping between physicality and illegibility.
Kevin Beasley (b. 1985, Lynchburg, Virginia) lives and works in New York. He earned a BFA in Painting and Sculpture from the College for Creative Studies, Detroit (2007), and an MFA in Sculpture from Yale University (2012). Recent solo exhibitions include PROSCENIUM | Rebirth / Growth: The Watch / Harvest / Dormancy: On Reflection, Storm King Art Center, New York (2025); A body, revealed, Hill Art Foundation, New York (2022); and A view of a landscape, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2018). His work is held in major public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Tate Modern, London; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, among others.

Currently, Ms. Joyner is focused on her philanthropic interests in the arts and education. Ms. Joyner is a Trustee of The Art Institute of Chicago, the J.
