Theaster Gates - Sanctum

In autumn 2015, the bombed-out remains of Temple Church in Bristol was transformed into an intimate place of listening, in which to hear the city like never before. For 24 days, 24 hours a day, Theaster Gates’ Sanctum hosted a continuous programme of sound over 552 hours, sustained by 800 performers, musicians and bands. Sanctum was Theaster Gates’ first public project in the UK, as part of Bristol 2015 European Green Capital. Whilst open and free to visit day and night, the schedule remained secret.
