There are many ways in which we can produce and present Art. After going to Gabriel Orozco’s exhibition, I am starting to gain inspiration and ideas on ways to undertake my MA Fashion Course.
I especially like his theory of creating art with the valuables and objects he finds from his research field. Not only can I see this strongly representing his style of work but in my opinions, it makes the artwork/ installation even more representative of the area he discovered it from.
'' I’m not inventing, just reinterpreting’’ Gabriel Orozco
Stepping into the 21st Century, Art and Design is starting to get harder and harder to justify and criticise. With so many competitions in this industry- finding a style that’s completely unique and compatible is like mission impossible- maybe stepping backwards and remoulding the past is the new way of invention.
I think the above quote is what this MA is all about. Not only will I need to broaden my thoughts on Fashion, but learn a complete new concept of idea generation.
Until You Find Another Yellow Schwalbe 1995
Gabriel Orozco
Out of all the work displayed at the exhibition, I find the piece above the most interesting and inspiring. I really like the simple concept of collecting a day to day seen object and manipulating its theory and form to create art. Though this piece is only a photographic series of yellow Schwalbe’s, it truly gives the sense of belonging to the subject, and by presenting them in this series, it shows Berlin ( where Schwalbe were found and photographed) in a complete different perspective.

Another piece I find really moving is ‘Four Bicycles (There Is Always One Direction) 1994’. Again, by using a simple everyday object he picked up in Rotterdam, he has manipulated and assembled it with multiples to form this remarkable and unique piece of art. I especially like the negative shapes and spacing created within, and such shapes can never be imagined or even drawn without seeing this form.
