Pink Toyota. Marfa, Texas.

The Toyota wagon was part an exhibition called Los Encuentros, featuring several Hispanic/Latino/ Texan artists, at Ballroom Marfa, in Marfa, Texas. The Toyota wagon was done by Yvette Mayorga, who "links feminized labor and the aesthetics of celebration to art historic imagery, European colonization and racialism oppression." Many artists these days seem to have semi-read the same books or sat in the same humanities lectures and absorbed a fix of deconstruction and 'theory' and Lecan and Derrida, so the language describing their own works and processes has a startling sameness, artist to artist, show to show. 

Love what she's done with the wagon, though, and with such intricate and committed work she does make a point, though we're not exactly sure what it is.
