盖茨赢得国际声誉的另一个原因是,他的艺术重新定义了“升级再造概念。“升级再造是个老概念,意思是将人们发现的材料转化为某种可重新定价的东西──但盖茨开始将这一概念运用在被丢弃或者过时的知识载体上。正因为如此,目前他正在把最初在格兰区多切斯特大道(Dorchester Avenue)购买的居所(购于2006年)改造成一个图书馆,存放当地一个藏书者过期的《Ebony》和《Jet》杂志。也正因为如此,他两年后在同一街区买下的档案屋(Archive House)现在藏有来自一家破产书店的14,000本建筑书籍,架子上还放着来自芝加哥大学(University of Chicago)艺术史系的六万张玻璃幻灯片。这些收藏旧物的地方促使他转换了思维,他不再把多切斯特大道视为他的工作日居所,而是将这些增建的建筑物本身视为艺术品。如今,他把这些空间统称为他的“多切斯特项目(Dorchester Projects)。
His latest addition, the Black Cinema House, is a movie theater he created in the basement and first floor of his home so that the Chicago Film Archive could screen films featuring black actors - many of which local children have never seen. This winter, he starts converting an abandoned apartment complex around the corner into artist studios; he's also raising private funds to turn a former bank into a performance venue and exhibition hall.
