The first major UK exhibition of American artist Theaster Gates will take place at TATE Liverpool from 13 December 2019 to 3 May 2020.

Theaster Gates (b. 1973) is one of the world’s most influential living artists. In Theaster Gates: Amalgam, the artist explores the complex and interweaving issues of race, territory, and inequality in the United States.

Amalgam presents sculpture, installation, film and dance that respond to the history of Malaga as its point of departure. Highlights include a new film, Dance of Malaga 2019, which features the choreography of acclaimed American dancer, Kyle Abraham. Gates’s musical collective, The Black Monks provide the film’s score. Their blues and gospel-inspired sound can be heard throughout the exhibition, continuing into an immersive ‘forest’ installation.
