Gabriel Orozco is recognized as one of the leading conceptual artists of his generation. Constantly traveling, and without any fixed studio, Orozco rejects national or regional identifications, drawing his inspiration from the different places he has lived or stayed in. Born in Jalapa, Mexico, in 1962, he currently lives between Mexico, New York and Paris. His open and constantly developing approach finds expression in works of widely varying scale in a great diversity of media, the artist showing equal ease, freedom and fluidity in photography, drawing, painting, sculpture and installation.
For this exhibition at the Centre Pompidou, Orozco has come up with an original layout based on the idea of the studio. Doing without internal walls, labelling or commentary, the works are displayed in a simplicity that echoes the moment of their creation, before their appropriation by the museum and its apparatus.
Currently showing through until 3 Jan 2011. Centre Pompidou, rue Beaubourg, 4th. M° Hôtel de Ville or Rambuteau. www.centrepompidou.fr/
Orozco's photography has a strange simple mystery engaging the simple essence of found objects. His 2004 Steidl book is quite wonderful.

I like the photo's of Gabrielle Orozco to be honest by making them my self also like those, my streetphotography was always great at some point but people preffered my opion and persue of my lifesdirection more, not that I am a kind of project but my life needed the rest as on such photo's from even more restfulness giving on photo where people are then looking at it are not looked at as strange, the coymac http has the most of those photo's put 'away' within the chaos of life I like to escape, who does not learn shouldt not teach, why people support me to visit them at least, Toby Nolden at Google, and then the http's are easy to find, my thanks for this name to and works to defend mine also as reson to be right.
