内容简介

这本出版物伴随着这位美国艺术家的一次博物馆调查。

本书探讨了艺术家的标志性形式--用橡胶制成的纪念性作品，同时展示了她在各种媒介上的艺术创新。通过在迈阿密ICA举办的广泛展览的新摄影作品、历史图片和新委托的学术研究，该出版物阐明了艺术家实践中的关键主题。本书特别关注布克用废弃轮胎制作的图腾和拟人化的组合，强调了布克对生态和技术问题的持续表达，对种族和经济差异的审视，以及她对美国文化中汽车的象征意义的兴趣。

除了Erin Jenoa Gilbert、Aruna d'Souza和Stephanie Seidel的文章以及Alex Gartenfeld对艺术家的采访外，本书还包括Booker的一些热门的作品。艺术家的摄影系列，"Foundling Warrior Quest"（2010年）和 "Graveyard Series"（1995年），被用来探索表演和神话在她实践中的重要性。本书的核心是《观察》（1995年），一个由解构的橡胶轮胎和管子组成的沉浸式装置--这是布克使用这种标志性材料的一个大型装置，艺术家选择它是因为它与骚乱有关。

This publication accompanies the first comprehensive museum survey of the American artist.

Chakaia Booker: The Observance explores the artist’s signature form—monumental works made of rubber—while showcasing her artistic innovations across mediums. With new photography of the wide-ranging exhibition at ICA Miami, historic images, and newly commissioned scholarship, the publication illuminates key themes in the artist’s practice. With special attention to Booker’s 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.

Alongside essays by Erin Jenoa Gilbert, Aruna d’Souza, and Stephanie Seidel as well as an interview with the artist by Alex Gartenfeld, this catalog includes some of Booker’s most topical works, including Chu Ching (2012), a cross on a wheelbarrow that resembles Jesus being dismounted from the cross. The artist’s photographic series, “Foundling Warrior Quest” (2010) and “Graveyard Series” (1995), are featured to explore the importance of performance and mythology in her practice. Anchoring the book is The Observance (1995), an immersive installation made of deconstructed rubber tires and tubes—Booker’s first large-scale installation in this signature material, chosen by the artist for its associations with riots.
