MEXICO CITY.- The Consejo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes, through the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes, presents the Gabriel Orozco exhibition through February 25, 2007 at the Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes. Orozco was born in Jalapa, Veracruz, in 1962. He studied at the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas of the UNAM from 1981 to 1984, and from 1986 to 1987 he completed his studies at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, Spain. Since then, he has traveled all over the world and is currently living in New York, Paris, and Mexico City.

This exhibition was curated by Patrick Charpenel and includes approximately 140 works of art from different museums and private collections in Mexico, United States, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Spain, France, Switzerland, England, Belgium and Italy. The exhibition presents all of the lines of work that the artist has taken from the start of his carreer to his most recent works through paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs and installations.

Grabriel Orozco re-thought the function of the materials he used in his production and his relationship with the space; this with the idea of removing all luxuries and ornaments from the works of art. He focused in one of the basic functions of artistic expression which evoques the force established between the materials and their context, between the object and the meaning. A direct experience with the immediate area is reached with this, without the preconceived categories of traditional art.

This "cleaning" generated a vacuum: a space that activates with the introduction or elimination of any element; an experimantal field where new relationships can be established.
