SUMMARY:Undivided: Theaster Gates/Nari Ward
DESCRIPTION:Theaster Gates and Nari Ward\, two internationally recognized artists\, will sit down for a once-in-a-lifetime conversation as they delve deep into unexplored territories within their artistic practices. \nAMFA’s Undivided series redefines the traditional conventions of an Artist Talk by pairing contemporary artists together to interview each other\, creating nothing less than an unforgettable dialogue. \nGates and Ward see art as a tool for social change\, creating work that is familiar but disruptive. Through their innovative approaches to found objects\, these artists reflect their communities while confronting issues ranging from value to spiritualism. \n\n\nAbout Theaster Gates\nTheaster Gates is an artist whose practice finds roots in conceptual formalism\, sculpture\, space theory\, land art\, and performance. Trained in urban planning and within the tradition of Japanese ceramics\, Gates’s artistic philosophy is guided by the concepts of Shintoism\, Buddhism and Animism – most notably honoring the “spirit within things.” \n\n\n\nFoundational to Gates’s practice is his custodianship and critical redeployment of culturally significant Black objects\, archives\, and spaces. Through the expansiveness of his approach as a thinker\, maker\, and builder\, Gates extends the life of disappearing and bygone histories\, places\, traditions\, and loved ones. \n\n\n\nGates has exhibited and performed at the Mori Art Museum\, Tokyo\, Japan (2024); the Contemporary Art Museum Houston\, Houston\, Texas (2024); The LUMA Foundation\, Arles\, France (2024\, 2023); The New Museum\, New York\, (2022); The Aichi Triennial\, Tokoname (2022); The Serpentine Pavilion\, London (2022); The Victoria and Albert Museum\, London\, UK (2021); Whitechapel Gallery\, London\, UK (2013 and 2021); Tate Liverpool\, UK (2020); Haus der Kunst\, Munich (2020); Walker Art Center\, Minneapolis (2019); Palais de Tokyo Paris\, France (2019); Sprengel Museum Hannover\, Germany (2018); Kunstmuseum Basel\, Switzerland (2018); National Gallery of Art\, Washington D.C.\, USA (2017); Art Gallery of Ontario\, Canada (2016); Fondazione Prada\, Milan\, Italy (2016); Kunsthaus Bregenz\, Austria (2016); Punta della Dogana\, Venice\, Italy (2013); and dOCUMENTA (13)\, Kassel\, Germany (2012). \n\n\n\nGates is the recipient of numerous awards and honorary degrees including the Isamu Noguchi Award (2023);  National Buildings Museum Vincent Scully Prize (2023); Frederick Kiesler Prize for Architecture and the Arts (2022); an Honorary Fellowship from the Royal Institute of British Architects (2021); the World Economic Forum Crystal Award (2020); J.C. Nichols Prize for Visionaries in Urban Development (2018); Nasher Sculpture Prize (2018); Sprengel Museum Kurt Schwitters Prize (2017); and Artes Mundi 6 Prize (2015). \n\n\n\nLearn more about this artist here. \n\n\n\n\nAbout Nari Ward\nNari Ward (b. 1963\, St. Andrew\, Jamaica; lives and works in New York) is known for his sculptural installations composed of discarded material found and collected in his neighborhood. He has repurposed objects such as baby strollers\, shopping carts\, bottles\, doors\, television sets\, cash registers and shoelaces\, among other materials. Ward re-contextualizes these found objects in thought provoking juxtapositions that create complex\, metaphorical meanings to confront social and political issues surrounding race\, poverty\, and consumer culture. He intentionally leaves the meaning of his work open\, allowing the viewer to provide his or her own interpretation. \n\n\n\nOne of his most iconic works\, Amazing Grace\, was produced as part of his 1993 residency at The Studio Museum in Harlem in response to the AIDS crisis and drug epidemic of the early 1990s. For this large-scale installation\, Ward gathered more than 365 discarded baby strollers—commonly used by the homeless population in Harlem to transport their belongings—which he bound with twisted fire hoses in an abandoned fire station in Harlem. Echoing through the space was an audio recording of gospel singer Mahalia Jackson’s Amazing Grace on repeat. The lyrics speak about redemption and change\, generating optimism and a sense of hope. As with most of his work\, this installation explored themes informed by the materials\, community\, and location in which Ward was working. The work has since been recreated at the New Museum Studio in 2019\, the New Museum’s Studio 231 series in 2013\, and in several locations across Europe. With each change of context\, the significance of the work changes as each community associates differently with these found objects. \n\n\n\nLearn more about this artist here. \n\n\n\n\nUndivided: Theaster Gates/Nari Ward is supported by the Alice L. Walton Foundation. \nPhoto of Nari Ward by Axel Dupeux.
