art21: charles gaines

Charles Gaines asks us to think critically about the systems we live within — to see the ways in which they are socially constructed, and to question the hierarchies that they uphold. This short film for Art21 follows Charles over the course of a year as he works on his first large-scale public art project, including a performance in Times Square and a monumental kinetic sculpture on Governors Island.
