Theaster Gates at White Cube on The Art Channel
Titled 'Freedom of Assembly', Theaster Gates' exhibition at White Cube shows new artworks illustrating his interest in labour, community and art history. Sculptures in the exhibition are constructed from found materials and the 'paintings' are made from a roofing process. The Art Channel investigates Gates' ideas and materials.

I’m a contractor in Chicago and put Ground Rules in a building for flooring. He then went to the building and me and my team cut out three of these pieces for him. Glad we could be apart of it.
The wooden board found in the "Freedom Of Assembly" piece is called pegboard.
Some of this is very cool Imaginative

id not be a fan of the smell of tar in my house but each to his own. BTW I have a hot top business down the street must drop some thrift shop things in and see what happens
The curtain of tar seen in the painting component of the "Hierarchy" piece evokes the lava flow of a thermal vent-style volcano (think Mt. Kilauea in Hawaii).

or it might evoke a burnt dinner
Those tie-downs featured in the "Shrug" piece are called ratchet straps.

The host sure has to pile in the artspeak to give value to the sometimes ordinary art pieces.

I'd hardly call them ordinary, it looks like someone is putting the two fingers up to the art world but they don't get it.

You're ordinary
Some are quite interesting in their material aspect and intention. Some are not.
For over 50 years I have followed the art world and its sometimes odd creations that somehow stirred us. I must say that this is the very first time that the absurdity and the equally daft commentary makes it clear that the art world struggles to find a new place, a new popular. Maybe if the commentator spent a day roofing or laying a road he would understand its not quite a smell you'd want in a public space or at home.

bravo and thank you for this comment
Brilliant but only if it is a perspective of failed art depicting a failed scenario; History is part of culture, what we have here is a failure of culture. Art does not “Fail” but it has become so mundane that only the mundane is able to grow.

malgré toutes les explications, ça ne ressemble à rien, peut être des décorations murale pour apporter différents tons dans une pièce

It is a reference. Done all the time in art. A homage too
this is nonsense too much talk
The great lie
I found myself wishing the narrator would STFU and let the art talk for itself, mainly because I think he misses the point of almost every piece. I loved the bitumen paintings and Ground Rules.
