Theaster Gates. Black Chapel

Focusing on the solidarity found within the Black community, Theaster Gates's visionary interventions transform public spaces into places of interaction and encounter. This book brings a broad-based knowledge to the discussion of the themes addressed by Gates in Black Chapel-issues of social representation and participation between the conflicting poles of recent German and American history as seen in the life of the exceptional African American athlete Jesse Owens. The complete and fully illustrated record collection of Owens is made available for the first time in this publication. Text: Guthrie P. Ramsey, Jr., Dimona Stöckle sowie ein Gespräch zwischen Theaster Gates und Hamza Walker
