| book description |

Chakaia Booker: The Observance accompanies the first comprehensive museum survey of the American artist. The publication explores the artistâ€™s signature formâ€”monumental works made of rubberâ€”while showcasing her innovations across mediums. Featuring an expansive range of Bookerâ€™s sculptures, including totemic and anthropomorphic assemblages fabricated from cast-off tires, the volume highlights Bookerâ€™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 Bookerâ€™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 artistâ€™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 tubesâ€”Bookerâ€™s first work in this signature material, chosen by the artist for its associations with riots.
