The Art of Making, Alma Flamenca from Deep Green Sea on Vimeo.

The setting was already intriguing. A Greek from Pontus, living in Athens is a luthier of some of the best Spanish guitars. His name is Vassilis and he is not only an accomplished luthier but also a charming human. We spend 3 days with him in his small and packed lab in Athens, where we learned a lot, laughed a lot and in general had a great time. The end result combined with the music of Edstard left everyone more than satisfied.

North Country from Stept Studios on Vimeo.

Director: Nick Martini DP: Cam Riley Producer/Executive Producer: Anthony R. Lahout Editor: Mattias Evangelista Sound: Alex Boll

100-year businesses don’t exist. The retail industry is dead. In the rugged White Mountains of northern New Hampshire, Lahout’s has remained open 365 days a year since 1920. While e-commerce and conglomerates have stripped the country of local, independent retailers, a family of Lebanese immigrants have prevailed for a century, beating the Great Depression, World War II, the Dot Com Crash and Great Recession.

Award-winning director Nick Martini and cinematographer Cam Riley have teamed up with executive producer Anthony Lahout to captivate a nation consumed with hashtags instead of history. This film tells a timeless short story of the American dream and the family that put a community on skis. After 100 years, Lahout’s is still a family business moving onto its fourth generation. Through past and present, we learn the true root of the store's success. As the original passes on, we question and discover the backbone of its longevity. We hope to inspire immigrants, millennials, family businesses, and outdoor enthusiasts that all in America is not lost.

Kevin Beasley's Raw Materials | Art21 "New York Close Up" from Art21 on Vimeo.

Does the past have a sound?

Celebrated for his material-oriented practice, Kevin Beasley juxtaposes sound, silence, and sculpture to examine the legacy of cotton in the American South. Set to the beat of his improvised drumming, the film shows Beasley at work in his Queens studio finishing his multipart exhibition, "A view of a landscape," at the Whitney Museum of American Art—his most ambitious work to date.

The installation is centered around the motor of a modern cotton gin—a machine originally invented in the late 1700s that streamlined the most labor-intensive part of cotton production, separating the fiber from the seed. Acquired on eBay, the motor was in operation from 1940–1973 in Maplesville, Alabama; in parallel to an era of intense social change that encompassed both the Great Migration and the passing of the Civil Rights Act. Housed in a glass soundproof chamber, the running motor is a visual, yet silent experience. Divorcing its sound was inspired by the motor's former owner, who was unable to articulate its sound to Beasley upon purchasing, but as a feeling that will "shake your insides."

The industrial roar is channeled into an adjacent gallery, recorded by an array of specialized microphones surrounding the motor in the vitrine—a complete sensory switch from the gallery next door. A noted musician, Beasley manipulates and enhances the motor's tones through a soundboard, each vibration embedded with a sonic history of the Southern soil. For Beasley, "sound is just as tactile as any other material, and has increasingly become a way to process the world."

Revealing the personal story that inspired the installation, Beasley describes his emotional response when he saw cotton growing on his family's Virginia farm. "Why am I so mad at this plant? This plant is not doing anything except growing and being beautiful." This creative journey is chronicled in three large "slab" sculptures. These wall-like assemblages are composed of seemingly disparate materials—a Yale sweater, durags, and sound equipment—set into place by a wall of Virgina-cotton, and mirror the contemporary complexity of race in the United States.

Kevin Beasley (b. 1985, Lynchburg, Virginia, USA) lives and works in Queens, New York. Learn more about the artist at: art21.org/artist/kevin-beasley/
