Theaster Gates is polymath artist, community builder, gospel singer and re-interpreter of history. This trip to his South Side Chicago studio reveals how he thinks about collections: how he salvages and elevates them to inform his own work. Gates's finely tuned appreciation for what's been left to history -- an entire collection of "Jet" Magazine, the contents of a neighborhood hardware store -- beautifully comes to life.
