Earlier this year, Gates became the breakout hit of Documenta, a prestigious contemporary-art survey that's held in Kassel, Germany, once every five years. For his project, 12 Ballads for Huguenot House, Gates stripped the innards of an abandoned building on his block and shipped the salvage to Germany, where he and his team岸along with some additional German hires - used the materials to renovate an abandoned 1826 house in Kassel. All summer long, crowds filtered into Huguenot House to find wall-sized videos of the singing Monks projected across its peeling floral-flecked wallpaper. Gates had filmed the singers back in the Chicago house just hours before it was dismantled. (After Documenta ended in September, some of the materials stayed put, but the rest was shipped back to Chicago.)

今年早些时候，盖茨在卡塞尔文献展(Documenta)（在德国卡塞尔(Kassel)举办的著名现代艺术展，每五年举行一次）上大放异彩。为创作自己的项目“致胡格诺屋的12首民谣(12 Ballads for Huguenot House)，盖茨把他所在街区一座废弃建筑内的东西拆下来，并将它们运往德国。在德国，他和他的团队──还有一些在德国雇的人──用这些材料整修了卡塞尔一幢建于1826年的已被废弃的房屋。整个夏季，人们走进胡格诺屋时会看到布满整个 面的密西西比黑僧侣合唱团演唱视频投射在有些剥落的碎花 纸上。这些歌手的影像是盖茨在芝加哥的房子拆除前几个小时拍摄的。（文献展活动9月份结束之后，部分材料留在原处，但其余的材料被运回了芝加哥。）
