Gabriel Orozco rearranged items in a grocery store. This unexpected arrangement causes people to pay attention to the ordinary things that surround them and how they are arranged. His art is imbued with playful exploration.
. . . to see things in new ways, to look more closely at our lives, to pay attention to the way the sunshine glows through a leaf. . . is one of the things that first drew me to art. . . it is one of the roles that art can have in the world.
What about putting art in unexpected places. . . so that people encounter it within their routines? I like that idea!!!
