Gabriel Orozco, Marian Goodman Gabriel Orozco, Marian Goodman Ali Godwin
Gabriel Orozco is one of contemporary art’s global superstars. With solo exhibitions at high-profile museums like the Serpentine Gallery, MoMA and Centre Pompidou; participation at the Venice and Whitney Biennales, and numerous honours such the prestigious German blueOrange prize, it’s easy to see why! So we expect his new show at Marian Goodman will be a popular event in the art calendar this summer.
Gabriel Orozco art & practice
We often think of Orozco’s playful and original work as a representation of the 1990s generation of artists. Take for example his remake of the classic Citroën DS car, which he reduced to two thirds of its width and exaggerated its streamlined design (La DS, 1993); or his human skull covered with a graphite grid (Black Kite, 1997).
Working seamlessly across a diverse range of media including drawing, installation, painting, sculptures and photography, Orozco’s work has the distinct quality of merging the boundaries between art object and everyday item, skilfully manipulating the banal to reveal hidden or unfamiliar aspects. His aesthetic vocabulary has its roots in Marcel Duchamp’s readymades, Conceptualism and the artistic traditions of his native Mexico.
Marian Goodman Orozco exhibition
Orozco’s latest exhibition at Marian Goodman – his first London exhibition since his 2011 retrospective at the Tate – consists of new work comprising painting, sculptures, drawings, photographs and scrolls made in Japan and Mexico. The work takes on a certain Japanese flavour; some of the circular motifs – an essential and recurring element in his practice – are derived from silks used as sashes around a kimono. You'll also find wooden sculptures made from packaging material and other detritus from downtown Tokyo. The latest offering from this world-famous artist does not disappoint.

  • The Araki

    The first Japanese restaurant in Britain to be awarded three Michelin stars, The Araki has a simple premise: one menu, eleven courses, all sushi. This is seriously high-end, gourmet stuff and you won't experience anything else like it. The restaurant itself is breathtaking with Edo period-inspired décor and a counter made from a two hundred year-old Japanese cypress.

  • Temper

    The brilliant thing about Temper is its focus is on avoiding waste: beef fat is used for homemade tortillas and butter, whilst broth is made using bones. There's also a big emphasis on working with whole animals and rare-breeds such as Beer Fed Dexter, Longhorn and Highland Beef.
