Documented in this attractively designed slipcased volume, Theaster Gates' latest work explores his commitment to Chicago and the work of W.E.B. Du Bois

In Every Square Needs a Circle, Theaster Gates (born 1973) offers a rumination on Black economies and empire building, relating to moments from art history and stories of quotidian labor. Produced on the occasion of his first exhibition in his native Chicago in over five years, Every Square Needs a Circle offers a detailed look at the artist's sculpture, tar paintings, installation and neon work. Gates debuts a multifaceted installation that bridges the work of W.E.B. Du Bois with architectural excerpts from Chicago, placing his interest in the history of objects while expounding on the archives that hold records of Black intelligence.

The book features an introductory poem by Theaster Gates, an essay by Chicago artist Zachary Cahill and 112 color illustrations.

Описание:

A clothbound compendium of Theaster Gates' interdisciplinary exploration of artistic and religious representations of the Black Madonnas

For his Kuntsmuseum Basel exhibition, Chicago-based multiartist Theaster Gates (born 1973) interrogates the mainstream art world's Eurocentrism through a multi-venue, multimedia exploration of the figure of the Black Madonna.

A self-described "collector of collections," Gates draws upon his vast arsenal of interdisciplinary talents and personal archives to highlight the Black Madonna's presence in religion and art history. Including a printing workshop and performances by the artist's band the Black Monks, this many-faceted program is as much a site of creation and conversation as it is one of critical engagement.

This clothbound publication serves as an accompaniment to the exhibition and delves into Gates' methods, featuring pictorial reportage and new essays that highlight a number of complexities related to spirituality, black identity, and artistic and political agency.
