Permanent Installation
Gabriel Orozco Garden Leeum Museum of Art
This new installation by Orozco was created specifically for the Leeum Museum of Art and is the museum’s first commission-based garden project since its opening in 2004.
At the Leeum Museum of Art, Orozco drew on the Korean concept of “Sehansamwoo,” using pine, bamboo, and plum trees as the botanical framework for the space. The garden spans the entire deck, covering approximately 1,650 square meters, and features a circular motif, often seen in Orozco’s work.
Starting in 2016 with his permanent garden at The South London Gallery, Orozco has now completed three site-specific projects that approach gardens as a sculptural medium. In 2019 he led a five-year initiative in Chapultepec Park across 800 acres of publicly accessible land in Mexico City which culminated in the restoration and development of several cultural institutions and two large pedestrian bridges linking different areas of the park.
