“This exhibition is not about what I made as much as how Americana or the Black Power movement or the white imagination swirl around in my head. Sometimes they produce conversations and new objects. Other times they just need to be held in tension with each other.” Artist Theaster Gates joins Hamza Walker, director of LAXART, for a lively discussion about Gates’s practice, the new exhibition Theaster Gates: Assembly Hall, and the artist’s work with archives and collections.
