Description

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 Perez 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.
