Showing: Gabriel Orozco @ Tate Modern

Posted by Patrick Nguyen, April 6, 2011

The Gabriel Orozco exhibition at London’s Tate Modern has been on since mid-January. AM is a fan of both the artist and this diverse yet cohesive show, curated by Jessica Morgan and Iria Candela.

With a long line of people waiting to be photographed for one of his personal projects in the signature […]
