Interview with Theaster Gates

"A workshop on clay (…) is a kind of experimental device about becoming."

Director(s)  Victor & Simon
Participant(s)  Theaster Gates

As part of a long-term engagement with LUMA Arles, Theaster Gates returns this year to the Grande Halle to present Le Chant du Centre [The Song of the Center], a ceramic workshop where the public can experience the artist’s sculptural production and research.

Why did he choose a ceramics workshop as the central element of his exhibition? How does working with materials enrich his perception of objects? What role do interaction and conviviality play in his creative process?

In this interview, Theaster Gates discusses his ceramic practice through the presentation of this new installation.
