Gabriel Orozco: Public Nature Public Art Fund
Orozco’s first large-scale public art exhibition in the United States explores how nature and the built environment shape one another.
Based between Mexico City, New York, Tokyo, and Paris, Orozco’s practice is shaped by the fluidity of moving across cities, an experience that informs this new body of work. Public Nature features images that offer a subtle, poetic reflection on contemporary cities as evolving environments: vines wrap around pipes, seeds are displayed in containers along the sidewalk, and plastic animals await sale in street stalls. While photography has long been central to Orozco’s practice, Public Nature represents a significant new chapter in his engagement with the medium.
Orozco’s first commissioned photographic series will be displayed on JCDecaux bus shelters in New York City, Chicago, and Boston.
