OF GABRIEL OROZCO
[via Juan Carlos Martin]
OF GABRIEL OROZCO
First time I came to work,
great joy to learn how to
accept
beautiful accidents / surprising
roll camera
instance
exploration.
Look at this film. Again
offended, and took that piece as a sign of arrogance.
Residual: the remains of an action,
old & worn with what looks new.
Z
Convince, but example compels.
Of beginnings appeals to me.
OF GABRIEL OROZCO
Fragments of things they have found.
Goes down, and it turns, and again it holds,
already recording.
Benefits some and takes away from others.
Represent Mexico but not that’s been promoted.
I think I am part of
experience
like that—-The Penske Picker.
One can change the world with an apparently small gesture;
result is going to be interesting.
Of choosing—-it ceases to be trash.
Zoom in. I like to date them.
Create a style: because then you are trying to do style,
on the roof of a building in Rotterdam.
This work was initiated by the experience of attending a
poetry
reading by the Hirshhorn Museum curator Phyllis Rosenzweig in which she
read her poem-in-progress on Gabriel Orozco. That in turn led me to
attend
the film on Orozco by Juan Carlos Martin when it was screened at the
National Gallery of Art months ago, without any connection to the
forthcoming show at the Hirshhorn.
