For the final project in Deutsche Guggenheim’s commissioning program, Gabriel Orozco collected thousands of objects at a beach in Mexico and on a playing field near his home in New York. In this video, curator Joan Young gives an overview of the two resulting works, Sandstars and Astroturf Constellation, while Orozco explains the process that led up to the exhibition, as well as the narrative engendered by the meticulously organized objects and accompanying photographs.
