For his Dallas Contemporary exhibition, this must be the place, artist Eduardo Sarabia (born 1976, Los Angeles, ca; lives and works, Guadalajara, Mexico) evokes the history of the traditional Mexican hacienda to explore notions of home, cultural heritage, and interior and exterior spaces – both shared and private, literal and psychological. Haciendas were an enclave of colonial agricultural and domestic buildings that originated in the 16th century to accommodate the industry of landowners and their workers and persisted until the late 1800s, shaping and fueling the economy of Mexico as well as its cultural and socio-anthropological history.
