Gabriel Orozco b. 1962, Jalapa, Mexico One of the most renowned contemporary artists to emerge from Latin America, Gabriel Orozco shifts between various aesthetic and geopolitical spaces to create objects that allude to the drift, transience, and mobility of everyday life. To this end, he employs heterogeneous procedures ranging from drawing, sculpture, and photography to video and performance-installations. He rearranges banal ephemera like yogurt lids and fruit, splices through industrially fabricated structures, and reconfigures ordinary environments into temporary situations. These works engage the concerns with process, site-specificity, and institutional critique that oriented Minimal and Conceptual art, as well as Brazilian Neo-Concretism's invitation for viewer participation. My Hands Are My Heart, 1991 Two Cibachromes, edition 5/5, each 9 x 13 3/4 inches (22.9 x 34.9 cm) Traditionally seen as generically distinct, sculpture and photography slide into one another in this pair of Cibachrome images. The top photograph isolates the artist's upper torso. His arms, cropped by the frame, fold across the body's midsection, drawing our attention to the votive icon of two clasped hands, their fingers raised in relief around a concealed object. The lower picture proffers a slightly more distant view of the same figure. His hands open to disclose a heart-shaped, red-clay form stamped with the imprint of the artist's fingers. This gesture reveals the indissociability of the artisanal and the mechanical. It also links the sculptural practice of modeling, whereby the object is molded by the hand to the indexicality specific to the photographic image, which exists as a physical trace of the thing to which it refers. —Melanie Mariño
