Artists buying factories instead of Private Equity - Theaster Gates bets on fine china
Recommended by Geren
Mr. Gates has a history of seeing the future in the past and he just bought the last porcelain factory in the US. I think this is a bright moment of art, commerce and craft coming together and I can't wait to see what the energy, network and eyeballs he brings to Pickard China does for what it transforms into.
Inspiring use of time and resources. Keep private equity from stripping yet another historical legacy brand and instead transform it into the next centuries legacy brand.

Theaster Gates is an amazing human.
@geren
I will admit to tearing up as I read about his projects all together and how he made the people around him FEEL - I knew the other stories already but it brings so much hope that this is our near future many more like Mr. Gates please.
