Gabriel Orozco

Gabriel Orozco (Mexican, b. 1962) emerged at the beginning of the 1990s as one of the most intriguing and original artists of his generation—and one of the last to come of age in the twentieth century. He resists confinement to a single medium and deliberately blurs the boundaries between the art object and the everyday environment. This talk addresses the current MoMA exhibition and the artist’s merging of "art" and "reality.”

Paulina Pobocha is a curatorial assistant in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at MoMA.

Mobile Matrix and Other Experiments

Mobile Matrix, one of Gabriel Orozco's most ambitious projects, involved the retrieval and transformation of a whale skeleton now on view at MoMA. Marco Bassols, Mexico City–based curator and exhibition designer; Molly Nesbit, Professor of Art History at Vassar College and a contributing editor of Artforum; join the artist in discussing this as well as other site-specific and sculpture works. The discussion is moderated by Pablo Helguera, Director, Adult and Academic Programs, Department of Education, The Museum of Modern Art.
