Article Summary
Announcement for Elevation 1049: Energies (Luma Foundation, guest curator Stefanie Hessler) in Gstaad, Switzerland. The exhibition runs February 2–March 16, 2025 across two venues (The Station and The Carpentry) and features works by 14 artists including Theaster Gates (The Duet, 2023); the opening weekend included a performance by Theaster Gates and the Black Monks.
Why It Matters
Direct e-flux announcement explicitly naming Theaster Gates as an exhibiting artist and noting a performance during the opening weekend within the 2025 calendar year.
Artist Context
The supplied curator corpus is thin: it records that Theaster Gates is an American social practice installation artist and professor, and that he presented the outdoor installation The Duet (2023) and performed with the Black Monks, but offers few further particulars.
Institution Context
The supplied e‑flux Announcements context is too thin to craft an institutional profile—it lists event notices (e.g., documenta fifteen, Bamako Encounters) but provides no descriptive information about e‑flux itself.
