Episode: March 07, 2013 - Artist Theaster Gates

Theaster Gates may be the hottest artist in Chicago right now, with major exhibitions around the world. And his art includes what he calls "urban interventions" -- re-imagining old buildings as a way to bring art and culture to parts of the city with few art venues. We revisit Jay Shefsky's profile of Gates.
