Description
Theaster Gates A Clay Sermon by Lydia Yee and Cameron Foote is a publication that explores the multifaceted activities of artist Theaster Gates. Through his work, Gates transforms found objects into utilitarian and artistic materials, giving them new form and meaning. Fully illustrated with examples of pottery, sculptures, installations, films, and archive materials, this book delves into Gates' socially engaged practice, which often incorporates clay as a powerful metaphor for transformation. The publication also features a new film by Gates and essays from leading craft historians and writers. This in-depth exploration of Gates' work is especially timely, offering insights into the intersection of making, identity, and activism.
