Gabriel Orozco

Description:

This new exhibition takes the 2005 painting 'The Eye of Go' as its starting point, and looks at how the circular geometric motif of this painting - part of a way of thinking for Orozco, a way to organise ideas of structure, organisation and perspective - migrates onto other work, recurring in other paintings, sculptures and photographs. A highlight of the exhibition is a series of large geometric works on acetate, made in the mid 1990s, yet never before exhibited. Rather than surveying the whole range of Orozco's practice, the exhibition seeks to cut a conceptual slice through it, to look deeply into the mechanics of the artist's thinking and working process. Not only does the exhibition propose a different view of Orozco's major contribution to changes in art in the 90s but it brings to the fore the urgent problem of art's 'makeability' now.
