Gabriel Kuri has created a series of works in which he juxtaposes perennial and ephemeral materials. Untitled (Ticket Roll) belongs to this group of sculptures and consists of three smooth ornate marble elements and a roll of public transport tickets. The artist poetically associates finesse and fragility as in a number of these works. Here the line of the ticket roll, partly unraveled, is held down by the balancing marble elements thus creating an interdependence between elements de different natures. Gabriel Kuri’s sculptural work involves a narrative through various elements from daily life resulting from specific areas of our contemporary social structures : tickets, banknotes, bills, credit cards, toiletry samples from hotels…
Gabriel Kuri works from repurposed natural, industrial, and mass-produced objects and materials including soda cans, shopping bags, receipts, insulation foam, shells, and magazines. Focusing his attention – through almost Dadaist means – on consumer culture, Kuri playfully charts transactions and creates systems that speak about both everyday life and the global economy. His practice is often site-specific and refers to the site of exhibition. Kuri lives and works between Mexico and Brussels.
