About Muebles (furniture):
The Spanish word Muebles (furniture) comes from the Latin Mobilis which means something that is movable or easy to move. Co-opting Allen Jones’ high art furniture of the 1960s, the sculptures draw attention not only to the plight of Mexican immigrants in the U.S but to Mexican-American culture at large as a commodity – as a culture that when no longer needed or useful can be easily moved or removed like a piece of furniture.
