Selections from Gabriel Orozco's notebooks: sketches, photographs,
and texts that offer a rare look inside his art-making process.
Written Matter presents selections from the notebooks of the
prolific and celebrated artist Gabriel Orozco. These texts,
sketches, and images from notebooks spanning 1992 to 2012 offer
insights into Orozco's artmaking process, revealing his thinking,
methods, and rationales. The texts, translated from the original
handwritten Spanish, offer personal truisms, compelling insights,
observations, and notes on process and method, forming a
subterranean stream that runs parallel to his artwork. "Art is the
opposite of spectacle," he writes. "Art does not try to convince
anyone, that's why it's shocking." The notebooks are fundamental to
Orozco's work, serving as a travelogue and personal dictionary
that, when consulted, allow him to resume the trajectory of his
thought anywhere. Because Orozco chooses not to work in a studio,
his notebooks act as a different kind of studio space, on paper and
bound between covers. Orozco works in a variety of media-drawing,
installation, photography, sculpture, video. His notebooks reveal
and revel in the style and substance of his art. Profusely
illustrated and designed under Orozco's art direction, Written
Matter offers an unusually intimate look at an artist's process and
practice.
