‘Theaster Gates: Breathing’ closes this Monday, May 31 at Pérez Art Museum Miami. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Featuring singers from the Black Monks, the experimental ensemble Gates has directed since 2008, the video merges Black Southern gospel and blues music with Buddhist monastic chants. The melodies that result from this hybrid testify to the potency of Black spiritual musical legacies while also tying together the artist’s personal relationship with traditional gospel music, a formative part of his Baptist upbringing, with his interest in Eastern Buddhism. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Images: Stills from ‘Breathing,’ 2010⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ theastergates pamm #TheasterGates #Breathing
