Commemorating Malcolm X on the centenary of his birth and 60th anniversary of his assassination, ‘1965: Malcolm in the Winter: A Translation Exercise’ marks Theaster Gates’s first contact with the archive of late Japanese journalist Ei Nagata and his partner Haruhi Ishitani. Through a series of architectural interventions, large-scale installations, archival works and new film works, Gates engages with the methods of care and preservation nurtured in Japanese philosophy and craftsmanship, drawing upon them as a framework to consider the role of art and aesthetics in shaping political, ideological and cultural legacies.

White Cube is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new works by American artist Virginia Overton. Overton’s work, which includes installation, sculpture and photography, is often the result of her direct intuitive response to a specific space. From a process of research and exploration, she creates works that re-activate the viewer’s spatial and sensory experience with an elegant physicality.
