Theaster Gates is an artist whose subject matter is construction and transformations, urban regeneration and the reversal of power relations. In Bregenz, Theaster Gates is showing »Negrobilia« for the first time, a collection of historical figures depicting Afro-Americans in a stereotypical manner.
About
»For me, the collection serves as a reminder of a history and a catalyst for ongoing examination,« he comments. Edward J. Williams began assembling the collection thirty years ago to withdraw the objects from public view.
Theaster Gates is an artist whose subject matter is construction and transformations, urban regeneration and the reversal of power relations. The artist became well-known in the wake of Dorchester Projects, a series of vacant buildings on Chicago’s South Side he renovated and rehabilitated with a team of young architects and designers. They have since then housed a library and record collection, offering space for performances, concerts, and culinary events.
