The now sold-out Black Chapel, published on the occasion of Theaster Gates’s Black Chapel at Haus Der Kunst in Munich. Bringing together a discussion of the themes addressed by Gates in the exhibition – issues of social representation and participation between the conflicting poles of recent German and American history, as seen in the life of the exceptional African American athlete Jesse Owens – Black Chapel reproduces images of the artist’s complex, politically and spiritually charged installation. With an interplay of sculpture and photography that raises questions about Black history, spirituality and representation, Black Chapel featured images from material first published in Ebony and Jet magazine, two iconic publications that contributed significantly to the spread of Black culture in the United States.
