Gabriel Orozco- Lintels, 2001.

 

Gabriel Orozco made this series of pieces called, Lintels, in 2001. Gabriel Orozco uses everyday objects we use or see in the urban parts of the world. He likes the idea of making visible the idea of chance, and paradox. I really like how Orozco can take any object such as a deflated football and make it into a creative artwork with the use of photography.  He is definitely a creative genius and has a very different way of thinking about ordinary objects we see and use everyday.

            Gabriel Orozco’s, Lintels, is intriguing to me because he uses dryer lint out of all things to create a series in a creative way. Most of all, the way he positions the dryer lint, and suspends them in air is really what interests me.  His way of displaying his artwork is key for his art.  The viewer automatically moves from piece to piece when looking at this series and the staggered, suspended positioning of each piece makes the viewer feel an emotion, almost peaceful.  In essence, I am going to think more deeply about how I can display my artwork in a way that makes it look more interesting like Gabriel Orozco does.
