RubberMade: Sculpture by Chakaia BookerPublished on June 04, 2008 at 2:09amSince the early 1990s, Chakaia Booker has worked almost exclusively with recycled 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 existing sociopolitical power structures. Featuring more than twenty sculptures, this exhibition surveys the past seven years of production by one of todays leading African-American artists.
