Oscar Murillo presents his new project Collective Osmosis at DAS MINSK Kunsthaus in Potsdam, a celebration of mark-making creating moments of exchange between his paintings, installation works, and the work of Claude Monet.
For Murillo, the scientific metaphor of osmosis, the process by which water particles move through a semi-permeable boundary with the aim of reaching a state of equilibrium, can be seen as a model for opening the museum, building bridges between the indoor and outdoor space, between the museum and the city, as well as between Potsdam and the world.
The exhibition features new abstract paintings by the artist from the Surge, Scarred Spirits, and Disrupted Frequencies series and invites visitors to participate in the creation of a collaborative artwork during the summer months. As part of the exhibition, Murillo is also initiating a nationwide social mapping project: various communities throughout Germany are invited to draw on large-format canvases, which will be sent back to DAS MINSK during the exhibition period.
