In 1998, the Italian curator and writer Francesco Bonami called Gabriel Orozco “one of the most influential artists of the decade.” Born in Veracruz in 1962, Orozco repurposes everyday objects, stripping them to their essence and imbuing them with new meaning. In 1987, after a stint in Madrid at the Circulo de Bellas Artes, he returned to Mexico City, where he hosted weekly seminars with Gabriel Kuri and Damián Ortega. His sculptures came soon after that. Rubber from truck tires was transformed into inflatable balls, a lump of clay became a human heart, a grey plasticine orb found itself representing the city of Monterrey. This off-schedule exhibition in a rented gallery space traces 30 years of Orozco’s practice. —Elena Clavarino
