This postcard book was published for the exhibition ‘Gabriel Orozco’, the first major survey of internationally renowned artist Gabriel Orozco, at The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA, 2000). Spanning Orozco’s varied artistic production from 1990 to 2000, the exhibition included sculpture, photography, video, installation, and drawing. Orozco takes his cues from ordinary, often urban, settings and from found or industrially fabricated materials. A rubber inner tube, a ball of plasticine, a tin of cat food, or the cap of a yogurt container are subtly transformed in Orozco’s hands. With modest materials in unexpected combinations, he creates significant objects that celebrate the discarded and mundane in contemporary life.
