Gabriel Orozco examines the relationship between nature and culture in his work. He only uses what his surroundings provide, joining these fragments in a manner that speaks of both location and society.
Solo exhibitions of Orozco’s work were recently presented at the Deutsche Guggenheim, Berlin(2012); Tate Modern, London(2011); Museum of Modern Art, New York (2010); Kunstmuseum Basel, Switzerland (2010); Centre Pompidou, Paris (2010); Venice Biennale (1993, 2003, 2005); Whitney Biennial, New York (1995, 1997) and dOCUMENTA, Kassel, Germany (1997, 2002).
This person is part of Sharjah Biennial 11
Gabriel Orozco explores the creative associations between overlooked objects in today's world, deliberately blurring the boundaries separating artwork and everyday environment.
