Gabriel Orozco
18.04. - 08.08.2010
In a major survey, the Kunstmuseum Basel will exhibit installations, sculptures, photographs, paintings, and drawings by the Mexican artist Gabriel Orozco, born in 1962. He is considered one of the most important artists of the present, and divides his time between New York, Paris, and Mexico City. His peripatetic lifestyle, and the principle of constant motion characteristic of his generation, is reflected in many ways in his work. This ranges in scope from a photographically recorded trace of breath on a piano, to a Citroën DS that has been cut apart lengthwise and put together again as a one-seater. The exhibition will previously be on view at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and will subsequently travel to the Centre Pompidou, Paris, and the Tate Modern, London.
