This Week—Artist Spotlight: Theaster Gates

June 10, 2020

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: THEASTER GATES __________ Theaster Gates’s practice traverses an extraordinary range, from collecting to social gathering, architecture and object making, experimental music and sound, and the ethical and physical reconstruction of civic life. His interdisciplinary fusion of archiving, performance, institution building, painting, and sculpting is deeply rooted in African American histories and cultures, and revolves around the transformation of objects, edifices, and communities through art and cultural activity.

avery r. young - tubman. - fiery new release from FPE Records

Harriet Tubman didn’t run TO freedom. Harriet ran cause she was free ALREADY.

She wanted her body to be aligned with what her mind and spirit already KNEW of herself

– Dr. Rev. Deac. Bro. A. R-rah whenever in the midst of spreading the good news about Mama Harriet

Crossing the genres of House, Blues, Jazz and Rock, poet, singer and songwriter avery r. young has been on the scene in Chicago for decades, lending his pipes to albums by Catfish Haven, Marvin Tate, and many others. His debut album booker t. soltreyne: a race rekkid (2013) examined race relations in the Obama-Era and featured crowd favorites such as “resurrec(t) fred” (for slain Black Panther leader Fred Hampton Sr.) & “ham sammich(es)”. This work led him to be co-writer and background vocalist on JC Brooks’s Red, Black and Blue EP (2018) and featured vocalist on visionary composer and flutist Nicole Mitchell’s Mandorla Awakening II: Emerging Worlds (FPE Records, 2017), which was named #1 jazz album of the year in the New York Times and placed in the top 5 of the NPR Jazz Critics Poll. As a composer and producer he marinates social commentary in gospel, blues and funk to create a salty concoction he calls sousefunk. His band, de deacon board, channels Gil Scott Heron, Parliament and Curtis Mayfield, building on sounds of the past to chart a course for poetry and music through our rocky present. His newest work tubman. is a soundtrack accompanying his first volume of poetry neckbone: visual verses(Northwestern University Press, 2019).
