Amalgam takes the history of Malaga as its point of departure. During the 19th century, this small island off the coast of Maine, USA, was home to an ethnically-mixed community. In 1912, on the orders of the state governor, they were forcibly removed to the mainland. They were offered no housing, jobs or support.
Amalgam presents sculpture, installation, film and dance that respond to this history. Highlights include a new film, Dance of Malaga 2019, which features the choreography of acclaimed American dancer, Kyle Abraham. Gates’s musical collective, The Black Monks provide the film’s score, of which this is the original soundtrack, comprising 11 songs by Theaster Gates and The Black Monks of Mississippi and produced by James William Blades.
