On View: Theaster Gates at the Shanghai Biennale⁠ ⁠ Theaster Gates presents two interventions at the 15th Shanghai Biennale, titled ‘Composite Meditation’ (2025) and ‘Tea Storage’ (2025).⁠ ⁠ Drawing on over two decades of engagement with Japan’s ceramic traditions, ‘Composite Meditation’ reflects on the cultural and spiritual exchanges between Japan and China, and Gates’s own Black experience in the US.⁠ ⁠ Made of wood-fired stoneware, leather and brick, the work considers clay as a vessel of shared histories and transformation.⁠ ⁠ 📍The Shanghai Biennale coincides with West Bund and Shanghai Art Week, and will be on view at the Jia Yuan Hai Art Museum until 31 March 2026.⁠ ⁠ 🔗Click the link in our bio to learn more.⁠ ⁠ Images: Theaster Gates, ‘Composite Meditation’, 2025. © Theaster Gates.
