terrific work by the chicago based artist. m.
As we learned from his talks at last year’s Culture Lab Detroit, Chicago-born artist Theaster Gates is probably best known for creating art that also has a social agenda, using his skills and influence to help the regeneration of the Grand Crossing neighborhood in his hometown, among many other things. His latest show “Freedom of Assembly” takes Gates to London’s Bermondsey, where he ties together contemporary events in the city with his own history; a series of new paintings and sculptures with thought-provoking narratives are on exhibit at White Cube Gallery.
