Theaster Gates: Malcolm in Winter - A Translation Exercise

White Cube, 2025, softcover, 140 pages, 23 x 32 cm

'1965: Malcolm in Winter: A Translation Exercise' documents Theaster Gates's exhibition of thesame name (February – April 2025) which commemorated the centenary of Malcolm X's birth and 60 years since his assassination. A record of Gates's archival practice and commitment to Afro-Asian alliances, the publication is interspersed with documents from the Black radical archive of the late Japanese journalist Ei Nagata and his partner Haruhi Ishitani. Fitted with a silver screen-printed cover and designed by Studio Ardworks, the catalogue walks the reader through the exhibition, illustrating a series of architectural interventions, sculptures, archival materials, and new film work.
