Raven Chacon: A Worm’s Eye View from a Bird’s Beak

The first ever monograph on Raven Chacon’s work, A Worm’s Eye View from a Bird’s Beak is a career-spanning catalogue featuring excerpts from scores, musical prompts, and drawings interspersed alongside full-color documentation and descriptive texts of installations, sculptures, and performances. The book includes newly commissioned contributions by Lou Cornum, Aruna D’Souza, Candice Hopkins, Anthony Huberman, Marja Bål Nango, Smávot Ingir, Patrick Nickleson and Dylan Robinson, Eric-Paul Riege, Ánde Somby, and Sigbjørn Skåden, with an introductory text by editors (with Alison Coplan) Katya García-Antón and Stefanie Hessler. Through these notable and diverse contributions, the monograph gives readers an insight into how Chacon uses sound, video, scores, performance and sculpture to address urgent matters of Indigenous sovereignty and environmental justice.
