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.

Published to mark the artist's first solo US museum show, Paulo
Nazareth: Melee presents an engaging and timely look at the
artist's multifarious work. The exhibition, held at the Institute
of Contemporary Art, Miami in 2019, explored how Nazareth's work
engages the complex colonial and racial histories of the Americas.
An artist who works across mediums, Nazareth uses performance and
sculpture to critique the colonial experience and its afterlives in
Brazil and the Americas. His durational performances and
installations draw from his joint African and Indigenous heritage
to highlight marginalized historical legacies, progressive
political figures, non-Western worldviews, and potential methods of
nonexploitative living and relating. Nazareth's work assumes a new
poignancy in light of the return of repressive political forces and
the racial reckoning that our historical moment demands. This
beautifully produced volume offers over one hundred color
illustrations in addition to newly commissioned scholarship. Paulo
Nazareth: Melee is the first exhaustive catalogue of Nazareth's
work, solidifying his place as one of today's most important global
artists.
One of the great conceptual artists of the twenty-first century,
Terry Adkins (1953-2014) was renowned for his pioneering work
across mediums, from sculpture, drawing, and site-specific
installation to photography, video, and performance. Terry Adkins:
Infinity is Always Less Than One accompanies the first
institutional posthumous exhibition of Adkins's sculptural
production. While Adkins is often recognized for his musical and
performative practice, this exhibition focuses on his complex
memorials and monuments to historical figures. The exhibition
showcases four of his major series, dedicated to four distinct
figures: Bessie Smith, John Brown, Zora Neale Hurston, and Jimi
Hendrix. These series are presented alongside a group of early
sculptures to reveal the development of the Adkins's mature
practice. The exhibition highlights Adkins's crucial contributions
to sculpture and to cultural protest, featuring major works that
have not been viewed in decades. It explores significant periods
and influences in Adkins's career, beginning with transitional
hand-wrought sculptures and continuing with his major immersive
installations. His often elegiac and always resonant objects
challenge dominant historical narratives and prompt a rethinking of
ways of being and moving in the world that are shaped by the
legacies of displacement and the sociability and community that
happen despite it. Adkins's work also enlarges the historical
legacies of the postwar avant-garde while reminding us of the
immaterial legacies that are passed on through ritual and sound.

In 2018, the New Museum in New York presents its fourth Triennial,
the museum’s signature survey of emerging artists from around the
world. Curated by Gary Carrion-Murayari and Alex Gartenfeld, this
edition of the much-anticipated exhibition - and the fully
illustrated catalogue that accompanies it - features work by 26
artists and collectives from 19 countries, exploring a range of
artistic practices. Though distinct in their approaches, these
artists are connected by their deep engagement with their local
context and a critical examination - and embrace - of the sense of
internationalism that defines our time.
