Gabriel Orozco – Boomerang *SOLD*

Gabriel Orozco, Black Feather, 2015  SOLD OUT

Gabriel Orozco, Black Feather, 2015Issue 26 is by internationally renowned visual artist Gabriel Orozco.  Known for his investigations into circularity, cycles, rotation, spinning, and movement, Orozco is, perhaps not surprisingly, also an avid boomerang thrower.  His issue fuses his art and his sport by taking the form of a wooden boomerang.   Orozco’s sleek, black, lightweight design, aptly named “Black Feather”, is based on a design by the late German thrower, Volker Behrens.  According to Orozco, “New boomerangs are usually based on other boomerang designs, in a kind of evolving generational fashion.”

Orozco’s boomerangs were manufactured in the USA by Leggacy Boomerangs, whose president also happens to be a board member of the United States Boomerang Association. Each one was individually silkscreened on the front and laser-etched on the back.  There are both right-handed and left-handed models.  The boomerang comes with a limited-run fold out poster and exclusive interview with the artist on the subject of boomerangs. Like all Thing issues, it is packaged in a custom-made box.
