THE GUARDIAN
By Mark Brown
UNITED KINGDOM---It is one of the most ambitious arts events likely to happen this year: the first UK public project by the lauded American artist
Theaster Gates, in which the dramatic ruins of a city centre church will host performances around the clock for 24 days. Visitors to Bristol’s
Temple Church might encounter a choir at teatime, performance poetry at 10pm, a drum and pipe band at 8am, popstars at noon or readings in the depths of night. The project, which will launch on 29 October, is called
Sanctum. [
