About the artist

Theaster Gates ’s practice finds roots in conceptual formalism, sculpture, space theory, land art, and performance. Through his work as an artist, archivist, thinker and builder, Gates subverts the politics of value and place through his critically stewardship and redeployment of culturally significant Black objects, legacies, archives, and spaces.
