A book on the internationally renowned artist known for his blend of social practice, sculpture, and urban development.
Gates has created a series of works that utilize bronze along with repurposed stone and wood, tar, and ceramics to explore the forms and imagery of African masks. Documentation of the works will be accompanied by images from the artist's expansive archives of anthropological slides, stills from a video performance, and a conversation between Gates and scholar Darby English.
