Press Release

Opening in January, White Cube New York is pleased to present ‘Hold Me, Hold Me, Hold Me’, a solo exhibition by Theaster Gates. Across music, drawing and sculpture, the artist creates a series of material pairings indicative of musical harmonic devices.

Shifting the ideology of art from visually based to metronomic, the exhibition explores the darker resonating tones that articulate how sound holds pain and suffering, joy and temporality, memory and contingency. Created in response to the space, a large-scale sculptural work, titled Sweet Sanctuary, Your Embrace, will highlight Gates’s personal connections with Black music and mental health.
