Repost from @oneavenue01 • Theaster Gates シアスター・ゲイツ @theastergates [AFRO MINGEI] [アフロ民藝] This exhibition by Theaster Gates portrays a dynamic fusion of Japanese tradition and African American culture stemming from Gates’ origin of Chicago and Mississippi. This cultural hybridity is expressed through multiple styles of media through out the exhibition – ceramic works, architecture, music, performance, fashion, and design, to name a few. Witness and experience a true cultural innovation between the Japanese Mingei and aesthetics of the “Black is Beautiful” cultural movement. シアスター・ゲイツによるこの展覧会は、日本の伝統とゲイツの出身地であるシカゴとミシシッピに由来するアフリカン・アメリカンの文化をダイナミックな融合で描いている。この文化のハイブリッドは、陶芸作品、建築、音楽、パフォーマンス、ファッション、デザインなど、展覧会を通して様々なスタイルのメディアを通して表現されている。日本の民藝と「ブラック・イズ・ビューティフル」文化運動の美学との真の文化的革新を目撃し、体験してください。 Mori Art Museum 森美術館 Exhibition Term (会期) : 2024.4.24 ~ 9.1 Open Hours (開館時間) : 10:00 ~ 22:00 #theastergates #culturalinnovation #culturalhybridity #mingei #afromingei #ceramics #hiphop #dj #music #moriartmuseum #blackisbeautiful #wabisabi #シアスターゲイツ #アフロ民藝 #森美術館 #陶芸 #文化改革 #民藝 #ヒップホップ #日本文化 #アメリカ文化

The black monks @blackmonkschicago have been an important part of my creative life for almost 20 years. Every iteration of spontaneous brotherhood through sound has given me joy and unlocked necessary emotional and spiritual fissures. Recently @yaws_world and @mrmichaeldraytonsr joined me in Japan and for 5 days, they gave the most beautiful energy and helped to transform the museum space into a space for contemplation, comedy, and joy. Thank you, Yaw for being my brother and the greatest vocalist I’ve known. Thank you for sharing your talents with us all. And thank you, Michael, for being my big brother, early teacher, amazing musician, leader and rare weird soul! Many thanks to everyone who has shared a mixer board in the name of the black monks. Your collective effort has made a wonderful opening!
