Gabriel Orozco: „Dark Wave“

06/07/201907/06/2019

„Dark Wave“ – ein riesiges Walskelett im Essl Museum. Klosterneuburg | AT · 2007 (© PP · Ewiges Archiv) Es war ein beeindruckendes Exponat, das im oberen Ausstellungsraum des mittlerweile geschlossenen Museums von der Decke hing: ein Walskelett, ornamental bemalt. Ich war überrascht von der Dimension, die das Tier gehabt haben musste, von den Details, von der schwer zu überblickenden Vielfalt der kleinen und großen Knochen: „DARK WAVE“, von Gabriel Orozco, 2006, Calcium carbonate und Kunststoff mit Graphit, 304 x 392 x 1375 cm. Es handelte sich um einen präzisen Abguss der Knochen eines Wales, der an der Süd-West Küste von Spanien gefunden worden war.

FACTUM arte, die spanische Firma, die das Exponat mit einem Team von 20 Mitarbeiter*innen innerhalb von 3 Monaten produziert hatte: „This piece, Dark Wave, is a second version of the first whale made by Orozco for the Biblioteca de Mexico (Matrix Móvil) and was committed by the White cube in Mason’s yard in London. The bones for this whale were found on the south west coast of Spain and worked on in Huelva with a team of 20 people for three months.

Dark Wave was produced for the opening exhibition of the new White Cube space in Mason's Yard London. In 2005 Gabriel Orozco had installed a drawing on a whale skeleton in the new Biblioteca in Mexico DF. For the exhibition in London it was not possible to use a real whale skeleton. As a result Factum Arte was commissioned to make an exact replica of a 14 meter long Fin Whale. The skeleton of this whale was found on the south west coast of Spain and casts were made from each bone. The bones were then cast in a specially prepared mix of pulverized calcium and patinated. This work was carried out over a period of 3 months in El Rocio, near Huelva by a team of 20 people.“ (FACTUM arte)

I was surprised by the dimension that the animal must have had, the details, the difficult to survey variety of small and large bones: “DARK WAVE”, by Gabriel Orozco, 2006, calcium carbonate and plastic with graphite, 304 x 392 x 1375 cm. It was a precise cast of the bones of a whale found on the south-west coast of Spain.
