Gabriel Orozco | “Obit”
EXCLUSIVE: Gabriel Orozco discusses his installation Obit (2008), on view at Marian Goodman Gallery in New York.
Gabriel Orozco’s sculptures and photographs disrupt conventional notions of reality. Drawing our attention to slips in logic, philosophical games, and hidden geometries, Orozco uncovers the extraordinary aspects of the seemingly everyday. His use of humble materials and means (graphite on bone, a ball of clay, a 35mm camera) engages the imagination through its disarming simplicity and intimacy.
Gabriel Orozco is featured in the Season 2 (2003) episode Loss & Desire of the Art:21—Art in the Twenty-First Century television series on PBS.

I have become, for lack of a better word, an admirer of Gabriel Orozco’s work for a short while but I am always intrigued by his observations and how he is able to bring those observations within our view to grasp.
