See Chakaia Booker Thursday, 10/17 at 5pm in our galleries.
This week’s featured artist is internationally renowned artist, printmaker, and sculptor Chakaia Booker whose diverse body of work can be seen in all three of our exhibitions on view at The Current.? Chakaia Booker’s work has spanned decades with an intentionality of practice and purpose. She chooses discarded tires to create beauty from detritus and elegance from industry, allowing the viewer to appreciate the abstract materialism or look deeper into the strong underpinnings of social, racial, feminist, and environmental justice. Her work at The Current, both inside and out, highlights beauty and hardship, and tradition and caretaking. The breadth of work includes a commissioned outdoor sculpture and inside The Current, her photographs, prints, and sculptures fill the galleries. The work asks the viewers to take time to listen, lean in, to contemplate, to heal, to work, to create, to be. Booker will be offering a free public artist talk with master printmaker, Justin Sanz, at The Current on October 17 at 5pm in our galleries. (This is a very special opportunity with extremely limited seating so RSVP at https://lnkd.in/ebSmrzvh to reserve your spot.)? . . . @gostowe @stowevibrancy @stoweartsandculture @thecurrenteducation @chakaiabooker @davidnolangallery @j.snza @efa.rbpmw @bloombergconnects @vtartscouncil @garmentdistrictnyc #stoweartsandculture #contemporaryart? #sculpture #stoweart #802arts #artisttalk #outdoorsculpture #outdoorart #printmaking
