Thanks to all involved for that beautiful Berlin arty night!
"Serpiente Esplumada" - Dios Quetzalcoatl - October 2012
shown at The WYE in Berlin Kreuzberg
11. October 2012 (11.10.12)
"Most of the Mayan deities found in Mexico are female. Where you see a serpent, dragon or similar, the deity is a metaphor for the Mother of the Universe, which is the fundamental spiral."
I go with this one. Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent God, is described as a man in history, but my serpent is definitely a woman.

VAGE presents the first edition of our monthly Pop-Up Gallery featuring emerging and established local and international artists. The exhibitions take place on the second Thursday of every month.
-----------------
THE EXHIBITION //
The artists were asked to research and be inspired by a piece of ancient graffiti. Using modern day materials and referencing current issues, each artist has created a piece that reflects the historic image they have selected.
THE HISTORY //
Graffiti is recorded to date back as far as 40,000 years. Without the carvings from pre-existing cultures, contemporary research would have a limited understanding of the average man in ancient civilizations. A bias of wealth and power. The average man in the contemporary world bids for a voice within society using the modern materials and tools that are available to them. GRAFFITO explores these current approaches.
exhibition today, party tomorrow!
