Creating Space for the Possibility of a Sacred Moment: Theaster Gates on Black Vessel for a Saint
"Whether people are believers in the sacred or not, can architecture, design, the arts create a moment where you feel like you're touching something that is bigger than my humanity or your humanity?" In anticipation of the opening of Theaster Gates: Assembly Hall, we share a discussion with Gates on Black Vessel for a Saint, a sculptural installation commissioned by the Walker in 2017 for the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, in which Gates discusses the secular-sacred, Black entrepreneurship, and how a traveling statue of St. Laurence finally found a permanent home.
