GABRIEL KURI (Mexico City, 1970)."Compost", 2004.Plastic fruit peels in piles of newspapers.Size: 60
"Compost", 2004.
Plastic fruit peels in piles of newspapers.
Size: 60 x 120 x 30 cm.
"Compost" demonstrates how Gabriel Kuri's art integrates elements of everyday life (waste from everyday life such as plastic bags, promotional flyers, receipts, coins, cigarette butts or tickets) with industrial materials (cement, steel or rolls of insulation). In many of his works, idioms and colloquial phrases accompany the images, inviting a dialogue between the verbal and the visual.
On a biographical level, Gabriel Kuri was part of Gabriel Orozco's Friday workshop from 1987 to 1991. Trained in Visual Arts at the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas in Mexico City, he furthered his studies with a Masters in Fine Arts at Goldsmiths University, London. Throughout his career as an artist, he has held artist residencies at Office for Contemporary Art Norway in Norway (2007), Govett-Brewster Art Gallery in New Zealand (2006) and Atlantic Center for the Arts in Florida (2002). In 2011, he was selected in the Artist Commission section of The Armory Show and nominated for the BelgianArtPrize 2019. He has shown his work solo in Glasgow (Spending Static to Save Gas, Douglas Hyde Gallery; All probability resolves into form, The Common Guild), Canada (Oakville Gallery), Brussels (Sorted, Resorted, Wiels Contemporary Arts Center), London (Gabriel Kuri: Afterthought is Never Binary, Sadie Coles HQ; Model for a Victory Parade, Sadie Coles HQ, London (2008), Switzerland (Product Testing Unit, Alte Fabrik, Rapperswil-Jona), United States (Gabriel Kuri: with personal thanks to their contractual thingness, Aspen Art Museum; Nobody Needs to Know the Price of Your Saab, ICA- The Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston; Blaffer Art Museum University of Houston), France (Centre d'art contemporain, Pougues-les-Eaux), Norway (Gabriel Kuri, Bergen Kunsthall), Italy ( Soft Information in your Hard Facts, Museion - museo d'arte moderna e contemporanea di Bolzano) and Germany (Join the Dots and Make a Point, Bielefelder Kunstverein).
