Black Chapel was a platform for Gates's 'museum within a museum', or an artist's museum, composed of Gates's sculptures, collections of images, and artefacts, including Jesse Owens's music album collection.

Community-Based Museum Ecologies: Public Doors and Windows and Les Nouveaux Commanditaires ('The New Patrons)
A growing number of artist-led initiatives and para-institutional organizations are creating community-based projects that signal the emergence of alternative museum ecologies.

Literary Publishing in the Federal Republic of Germany: Redefining the Enterprise
The evolution of the primary institution of literary mediation, the publishing house, has been a result of significant historical, sociological and technological developments since the end of World War II. Just as the early sixties marked the beginning of a new era in literary publishing (most notably through the expansion of paperback publishing) the eighties and nineties may also represent another benchmark in the evolution of the publishing in…
