Chakaia Booker: The Observance is a comprehensive museum survey of the American artist, exploring her signature form of monumental works made of rubber. The publication showcases her innovations across mediums, featuring an expansive range of 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 feature some of Booker's most topical works, such as Chu Ching (2012), which depicts a cross on a wheelbarrow resembling Jesus being dismounted from the cross. Additionally, two rarely seen series of paintings explore landscape and language. The artists 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. This is Booker's first work in this signature material, chosen by the artist for its associations with riots.
Overall, Chakaia Booker: The Observance provides a deep insight into the artist's career and her contributions to contemporary art.
