Eduardo Sarabia: Plumed Serpent and Others Parties

Museo Tamayo presents the special project by Eduardo Sarabia “Plumed Serpent and Others Parties“.
In the work of Eduardo Sarabia (Los Angeles, 1976), pottery has become one of the most important mediums for interweaving traditional elements—such as Talavera—with themes of social and natural order that are related to activities associated with illegal economies and survival.

“Plumed Serpent and Others Parties” is the most recent installation conceived by the artist, as a result of a personal fascination with the quetzal –its myths and current reality. On it, a montage of sculptures and drawings suggests an alternate path into border-like terrains.”Plumed Serpent and Others Parties” is an allegorical accumulation of ancient tales, references from political context, new mythologies and a representation of a taxidermy collection of nearly 300 birds that are in danger of extinction, as is the case of the quetzal, the lovely cotinga, the squirrel cuckoo, and the roseate spoonbill.
