To kick start their 20th anniversary year, the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo is showcasing the work of Mexico-born contemporary artist Gabriel Orozco as one of their three special exhibitions opening this week. This will be Orozco¡¯s first solo exhibition in Japan.

Based in New York, Paris and Mexico City, Orozco is known for creating unique humorous works inspired by everyday objects. For example, his ¡°Ping-Pond Table¡± is just as the title suggests, a four-player table-tennis table with a pond in its center; Jan. 24-May 10.
