Chicotes
by Faurschou Foundation Beijing
Location: Faurschou Foundation Beijing
Artist(s): Gabriel OROZCO
Date: 28 Sep 2013 - 23 Mar 2014

The title 'Chicotes' refers to the word used in Mexican popular speech to describe parts of old exploded car tyres. Thus the title refers directly to the material of the work - that is, tyres that Orozco has gathered along the roadsides in Mexico. Because of the explosions the many parts are torn and ragged and look like roots, bark or seaweed. Orozco has arranged the various parts in a neat order, transforming and 'fusing' them into new totalities.
