September 2 - November 11
Gallery 5
In Plate Convergence, urban planner and sculptor Theaster Gates will explore the complexity of the material clay and the interpersonal relationships that arise through its use. For the exhibition Gates will design and create 50 original plank-shaped clay plates that will function both as dinner plates for a previously staged and video taped sit-down dinner, as well as sculptural pieces hung on the wall for the exhibition’s installation. Plate Convergence is the first large-scale solo exhibition of this emerging artist native to Chicago.
