Written Matter" is a selection of texts (translated and transcribed) alongside original pages from artist Gabriel Orozco's workbooks. The book takes as its starting point the year 1992, when Orozco began to travel and exhibit around the world, without maintaining a permanent studio. The notes and drawings in these workbooks became indispensable to the development of his ideas and projects.

Gabriel Orozco's Asterisms is a two-part sculptural and photographic installation comprising thousands of items of detritus he gathered at two sites - a playing field near his home in New York City and a coastal wildlife reserve in Baja California, Mexico. Presented as a taxonomic study of material, shape, size and colour, the exhibition highlights Orozco's subtle practice of subjecting the world to personal, idiosyncratic systems while invoking several of the artist's recurring motifs, including the effects of erosion, the poetry of the mundane, the relationship between the macro and the micro, and the tension between nature and culture. Nancy Spector, Deputy Director and Chief Curator of the Guggenheim Museum, contributes an essay to this richly illustrated volume.

Gabriel Orozco works with materials, forms, and situations of everyday life through sculpture, photography, drawing, and installations. He changes forms and functions of things believing that everything is in natural motion and can become something else. Natural Motion brings together familiar works, such as 'Dark Wave' his intervention in a enormous whale skeleton, a comprehensive collection of his ongoing work in terracotta. and carved river stones. Essays examine the inner aspects of Orozco's oeuvre as well as the various media and formats with which he works. Exhibition: Kunsthaus Bregenz, Austria (13.7.-6.10.2013).

In this artist's book, Mexican artist Gabriel Orozco (born 1962) takes New York Times obituaries of famous people, removing anecdotal information to reveal the wit, drama and absurdity of the press perception of public life.

Published by The Fruitmarket Gallery to accompany the exhibition, this major book by curator Briony Fer focuses on the themes and ideas in the exhibition. Placing the work, The Eye of Go, at the centre of her thought, Fer asks how far it is possible to think with the work rather than about it. Fully illustrated with many images published here for the first time and new photography made by the artist specially for the book, this is an important addition to current scholarship on Orozco's work.
