About Theaster Gates

Theaster Gates Biography

Theaster Gates is the creator and president of the Rebuild Foundation as well as the University of Chicago's director of developing arts programs. He is a "cultural strategist," a musician, and an artist. Gates alter places, organizations, customs, and perceptions through his performances, installations, and urban interventions. Gates has a great understanding of the poetics of production and systems of organizing because of his schooling as an urban planner and sculptor and his later time spent studying clay in Japan. With this knowledge, Gates has put together gospel choirs, created temporary unions, and employed mass manufacturing techniques to highlight the demand that industry has for the human body. Theaster is dedicated to restoring underprivileged black communities by transforming vacant structures into cultural places when he is not creating work for museums. Gates has won prizes from the Joyce Foundation and the Graham Foundation, and he was a Loeb fellow at the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
