Theaster Gates

Theaster Gates was featured in an October 2015 piece on “The Eye,” Slate magazine’s design blog, and a cool story in The New York Times T Magazine in December 2015. The Times article was titled “Three Artists Who Think Outside the Box” and featured Gates and two other artists who are “changing what art can – and should – do for the world.” The Eye focused on Gates’ Stony Island Art Bank, a formerly dilapidated 1920s savings and loan building turned cultural center on the South Side of Chicago.
