From the Back Cover
Theaster Gates (b.1973) is one of the world’s most influential living artists. In this new book (published to accompany a major show at Tate Liverpool) the artist explores the complex and interweaving issues of race, territory and inequality in the United States. Gates takes the history of Malaga (a small island
off the coast of Maine) as his point of departure. During the 19th century, Malaga was home to an ethnically mixed community. In 1912, on the orders of the state governor, Malaga’s inhabitants were forcibly removed to the mainland, and offered no housing, jobs or support. Amalgam presents an array of sculpture, installation, film and dance that responds to this history. The book will also include illustrations of a new film, Dance of Malaga 2019, featuring the choreography of acclaimed American dancer, Kyle Abraham.
Combining scholarly essays, Gates’s own words, and a careful selection of illustrations, this publication will underline the artist’s engagement with contemporary art, urban planning, social conscience and interracial relationships, while its tone and accessible approach will appeal to all readers.

Hardback. Condition: New. Described by Art Review as 'one of the most influential people in the contemporary art world in 2018', Theaster Gates (b. 1973, Chicago) explores the complex and interweaving issues of race, territory and inequality as a socially engaged artist. Living and working in Chicago, Gates began his career studying urban planning, followed by ceramics, both of which continue to inform his work.At the heart of the book, Gates looks at the history of Malaga island in Maine, USA. In 1912, the state governor evicted the island's ethnically diverse population with no offer of housing or support. Gates's body of work - sculpture, installation, film, music and dance - responds to this little-known story, connecting it with the wider history of African-American people. A new film called 'Dance of Malaga 2019' features the choreography of acclaimed American dancer Kyle Abraham, and a highlight of the publication are the many beautiful stills from the film.Through a combination of essays, Theaster Gates's own words and a careful selection of illustrations, this publication will underline the artist's influence in contemporary art and interracial relationships, while its accessible approach will appeal to all.
