## Caption

Theaster Gates dissolves the boundaries between artist and collector, archivist and storyteller, ceramicist and interior decorator. These roles may seem exclusive, but they are not — as Gates has proven. The complexity of his socially engaged practice became more apparent to jyauwriter after he saw three concurrent presentations of his work in Chicago: “Oh, You’ve Got to Come Back to the City” at Gray Gallery and “Unto Thee” at the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago, accompanied by a site-specific installation on view through July 2026, “African Still Life #3: A Tribute to Patric McCoy and Marva Jolly.”
