Theaster Gates uses sculpture prize to fund literary venture

Sculptor Theaster Gates was a spoken-word poet before he found fame as a fine artist. He plans to invest the $100,000 he will receive from the 2018 Nasher Prize for Sculpture in a new literary project. Gates will use the prize money to buy an antique Heidelberg windmill printing press and will print his own poetry and books by other poets in this outmoded and unconventional fashion.
