Community Project

Límites, recursos y dibujo – Comunidad de Hidalgo. Primaria/secundaria
The artist Tony Orrico created a drawing workshop with the girls and boys of the primary and secondary schools of the community of Hidalgo. In the workshop entitled Limits, resources and drawing, they worked with the relationship between the body, the environment, and the drawing. Through body exercises, the girls and boys developed large-format drawings, using their own body as a limit and reference measure for the shapes created. Thus, recognizing the human body itself as a measure, and limit, within the natural environment may be a useful tool for developing any daily activity, even in future occupations.

(b. 1979) Tony Orrico’s work has reached mass circulation for its ingenuity within the vernacular of performance and conceptual drawing. He developed his own physical symmetry practice (circa 2005) as point of entry into his visual work. He is interested in organized consciousness and applications of the body to a surface, object, or course.
Orrico has performed/exhibited his work in the US, Australia, Belgium, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain. His visual work is in collection at The National Academy of Sciences (Washington DC) and Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo (MUAC, Mexico City) as well as prominent private collections. He has presented at Centre Pompidou-Metz, New Museum, and Poptech 2011: The World Rebalancing.
Orrico is a former member of Trisha Brown Dance Company and Shen Wei Dance Arts, and he was one of a select group of artists to re-perform the work of Marina Abramovic during her retrospective at MoMA.
