Socially Engaged Artists



Socially Engaged Artists

Clare Twomey
Clare Twomey’s installations have the social and historical context in which the installation is created as their point of departure.

Forever
Explores ideas of permanence, responsibility, memory, desirability, value and the history and process of making ceramics.

Theaster Gates
Gates’s training as an urban planner and sculptor, and subsequent time spent studying clay, has given him keen awareness of the poetics of production and systems of organizing. Playing with these poetic and systematic interests, Gates has assembled gospel choirs, formed temporary unions, and used systems of mass production as a way of underscoring the need that industry has for the body.
