At the invitation of Shinichiro Ogata, Gabriel Orozco will sign the two volumes of Diario de Plantas catalog at OGATA, on Thursday, October 19 from 6pm to 8pm. On this occasion, a limited edition will be presented.

Across two volumes printed on bible paper and nestled in a slipcase, Orozco puts the eighteenth-century genre of the botanical travelog to different ends: trading the all-knowing, world-ending encyclopedism of Linnæus and his fellow gentlemen naturalists for an enchantment that approaches what poet Francis Ponge called “l’être végétal” [vegetal being]. R Morris Levine.
