Friends ask me sometimes genuinely and sometimes to be provocative what the purpose of art is. I can distill it into a single phrase, a quote by Viktor Shklovsky that I read in undergrad: “It exists to make one feel things, to make the stone stony.” It often doesn’t apply as literally as it does to Gabriel Orozco’s works carved from blocks of stone that were recently on view at Marian Goodman Gallery in New York, but I still like it as a way to think about and encounter art. #GabrielOrozco #contemporaryart #contemporarysculpture #mariangoodman #mariangoodmangallery https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq8NUMXldJt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rvv2xqkart83
