Murtaza Vali on Gabriel de la Mora at the Drawing Center

Gabriel de la Mora cleverly reconfigures collections of found objects scavenged from flea markets in Mexico City, where he lives, into pristine minimal installations that uncannily give form to experiences, processes, and forces that are otherwise nearly invisible. His current exhibition fills the space’s back wall with what initially appears to be a salon-style hang of small-scale monochromes, two small maroon panels, and the occasional glint of gold punching through a monotony of blacks, tans, and grays. Upon closer inspection, these works are revealed to be fabric screens from old speakers. The display is mirrored along a central vertical axis on the main wall and continues in a neat row along each flanking wall. Its symmetry wittily echoes that of traditional stereo technology.
