Gabriel Orozco at MoMA

Gabriel Orozco refuses to stay within neat categories, preferring to roam artistically from medium to medium. In fact, he doesn't really have a studio; instead he works out of wherever he's living at the time. MoMA displayed some of his studio artifacts, including what we think was a pizza box (empty), as well as several half-formed lumps of clay. The other stuff on display shows the benefits of such a lifestyle: a car surgically cut in half and stitched back together; geometrical displays that look like tests you might have to take before joining the Air Force; a whale skeleton colored with 6,000 pencils; and even a large, lopsided stone that weighs as much as he does, which he pushed around the streets of Mexico City until it looked beat up and worn enough to call art. We have to thank our pal Adrienne for recommending this enjoyable spew of creativity.
