Solange has created an interactive artwork hosted online for Tate Modern. Following the release of A Seat at the Table, her album which discusses the racial struggles and tension in America, the institution asked the musician to create an artwork inspired by its current exhibition, Soul of Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power.
Speaking on the project titled “Seventy States”, Solange said, “I wanted to create a specific scenography through movement and landscape to communicate my states of process through this record, I decided to do this through a visual language.”
In addition to showcasing unreleased performance pieces and abstractions from her music videos “Cranes in the Sky” and “Don’t Touch my Hair,” Solange also introduces “We Sleep In Our Clothes,” an original performance and score devised by the artist herself.
You can explore “Seventy States” now at Tate Modern’s website.
