Gridlock, What’s Not, and Pass the Buck

Chakaia Booker, 10/22/2020

Temporary installation until 06/2021. Three temporary sculptures sit in Heisler Park, made by artist Chakaia Booker to showcase a fusion of current socio-ecological concerns. Made of steel and exploded rubber tires, the shreds “resonate with her for their versatility and rich range of historical and cultural associations.” The varied tones of the rubber parallels human diversity. Tire treads suggest images as varied as African scarification and textile designs, Booker says.
