Theaster Gates : black archive / Kunsthaus Bregenz ; Herausgeber/editor, Thomas D. Trummer.

Trummer, Thomas, 1967- (editor.). Gates, Theaster, 1973- Works. Selections. (Added Author). Kunsthaus Bregenz, (host institution.).

Summary:

"The transformation of everyday and urban detritus is one of Theaster Gates' fundamental artistic strategies, one lending it to a new value as art. The partly newly created works and space-grabbing sculptures also following this attitude. Gates' work as a strategy of archiving and recycling, preservation and innovation as a form of critical analysis of social issues are analyzed by Romi Crawford and Thomas D. Trummer. In a conversation with Hamza Walker, Gates himself explains his work and, in particular, his artistic concept underlying the exhibition in Bregenz. The exhibition ℗ƠBlack Archive℗ł is impressively documented by large format installation images."--Publisher's website.
