A comprehensive volume devoted to the major Gabriel Orozco exhibition held in Mexico City.

The first overview of Orozco’s practice in Mexico in more than fifteen years, this major exhibition occupies the entirety of the Museo Jumex. Curated by Briony Fer, the exhibition takes a thematic approach to the artist’s practice over the past thirty years. Each floor focuses on different aspects of Orozco’s constantly evolving body of work, including relations of work and world, space and time, provisionality and process.

This long-overdue publication will feature an essay by Fer and an in-depth conversation between the artist and Benjamin Buchloh, accompanied by illustrations of Orozco’s masterpieces. The exhibition and publication aim to provide a comprehensive exploration of Orozco’s artistic journey, highlighting key pieces from his diverse body of work, including sculptures, installations, and paintings. This initiative reflects Museo Jumex’s commitment to showcasing contemporary art and fostering deeper engagement with influential artists like Orozco.

Orozco’s works have been included in the permanent collection of several museum institutions such as the Pérez Art Museum; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Aspen Art Museum; the Metropolitan Museum of Art; San Jose Museum of Art; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Dallas Museum of Art; Philadelphia Museum of Art; Whitney Museum of American Art; Noguchi Museum; Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; Tate, London; and Museo Reina Sofia, Spain.

Briony Fer, FBA, is a British art historian, critic, and curator, as well as professor of history of art at University College London. She has written extensively on diverse topics concerning twentieth-century and contemporary art.
