A new exhibition of Theaster Gates’ large-scale paintings, sculpture, and installation work depicting the complex dynamics – both seen and unseen – undergirding the architecture and everyday lives of marginalized communities across the United States is coming to the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (CAMH) this summer. In Theaster Gates: The Gift and The Renege, the museum will realize the crowning artistic fete of its ongoing community-focused Rebirth in Action historic preservation initiative. The multifaceted initiative, in which CAMH has partnered with Gates and the Houston Freedmen's Town Conservancy (HFTC), targeted the so-named historic district in the city's Fourth "Mother" Ward for a restorative elevation of its continued existence as an inspirational crucible and the "Crown Jewel of the Emancipation Trail" in the Black community after 1865.
