Tadáskía: mystical black bird, moon black rabbit

Tadáskía: mystical black bird, moon black rabbit collects two works by the visual artist, writer and educator. Here, Tadáskía moves between poetry and illustration, investigating transformation, familiarity, and the unknown, pointing towards the mystical spark that reveals and hides itself among animals and other beings.

The book-word ave preta mística mystical black bird was presented at Projects: Tadáskía, the artist’s first solo show at a museum, in the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), and has become part of the institution’s collection. The exhibition inserted Tadáskía in the still small group of Brazilian artists who have shown their work in this American museum. Meanwhile, lua coelho negra moon black rabbit was presented at the 35th São Paulo Biennale, and is currently in the collection of the São Paulo Pinacoteca.
