Chakaia Booker: The Observance accompanies the first comprehensive
museum survey of the American artist. The publication explores the
artist's signature form-monumental works made of rubber-while
showcasing her innovations across mediums. Featuring an expansive
range of Booker's sculptures, including totemic and anthropomorphic
assemblages fabricated from cast-off tires, the volume highlights
Booker's ongoing expression of ecological and technological
concerns, examinations of racial and economic disparities, and her
interest in the symbolism of the automobile in American culture.
The exhibition and accompanying publication Chakaia Booker: The
Observance include some of Booker's most topical works, including
Chu Ching (2012), which depicts a cross on a wheelbarrow resembling
Jesus being dismounted from the cross, as well as two rarely seen
series of paintings that explore landscape and language. The
artist's photographic series, Foundling Warrior Quest (2010) and
Graveyard Series (1995), are also featured to explore the
importance of performance and mythology in her practice. Anchoring
the presentation is The Observance (1995), an immersive
installation made of deconstructed rubber tires and tubes-Booker's
first work in this signature material, chosen by the artist for its
associations with riots.
