RubberMade

sculpture by Chakaia Booker

Edición de la obra RubberMade

Since the early 1990s, Chakaia Booker has worked almost exclusively with rubber tires. Through a physically demanding process of twisting, slicing, and weaving found rubber tires (primarily from bikes, cars, and farm equipment), she forms dynamic, whimsical sculptures that fuse ecological concerns with questions about racial and economic differences, globalization, and sociopolitical power structures. Featuring twenty-four sculptures, this exhibition surveys the past eight years of production by one of today’s most prominent American artists.
