The complete universe of Gabriel Orozco: ‘I will never do an exhibition like this again’
The most international Mexican artist on the contemporary scene turned the Jumex Museum in the capital — all three floors and its basement — into a living machine, at the service of the largest retrospective in his almost 40-year-long career


At the entrance to the museum, there are two ping-pong tables assembled in the shape of an X (four separate pieces in total), with a small water garden jutting out from the central square, representing a net. It’s ready to be played on.
