Artists That I
like:
GabrIel Orozco:
(Text was taken from the Guggenheim Museum The Moving pictures show :
http://www.guggenheim.org
"Gabriel Orozco creates lyrical works in sculpture, drawing, photography,
installation, and video—mediums as diverse as the issues that Orozco's
art engenders and explores: how the random and mundane create meaning,
the construction of space and time, the mutability of forms. Many of his
sculptures are made from found objects, like a deflated soccer ball, a
chess board and game pieces, and a trisected and reassembled Citroen automobile.
This dialogue with the readymade continues in Orozco's photographs, which
document chance encounters with sites and things in his native Mexico
and other locations around the world, including India, Iceland, and New
York. The artist frequently intervenes in what he discovers, arranging
found materials and photographing his constructions. Sometimes, he transforms
the ordinary just by the act of naming, as he does with titles such as
Pulpo (Octopus, 1991) which bestows a symbolic, associative meaning onto
a tangle of pipes, and Dos parejas (Two Couples, 1990) which anthropomorphizes
pairs of clay vases. Another photo appears to be of a cloud-streaked sky,
but it is actually a reflection captured in a puddle (Pelota en agua [Ball
on Water, 1994]). Recording his movements and artistic activities, Orozco's
photographs also serve as poetic markers of the simple but essential relationship
between objects and bodies."
