“You have to be confronted with reality all the time,” says the artist Gabriel Orozco, who’s been called a “postminimalist.” Born in Mexico in 1962, Orozco lives between New York and Tokyo. He is spurred on by a quest to explore the mundane through art. He likes organic materials and intricate geometries, but is also given to spectacular statements: his suspended sculpture Dark Wave, for instance, was cast from the skeleton of a whale found on the coast of Spain. The word partituras, the title for this exhibition, is Spanish for “scores” or “sheet music.” —Alexandra Lemer
