With his exhibition project Collective Osmosis, Colombian-born artist Oscar Murillo brings the imagery of French Impressionist Claude Monet into a contemporary dialogue.
In installations and paintings, Murillo takes up shifts in light, color, and space, translating them into his own artistic language. Like Monet, he examines perception as something processual. At the same time, he broadens the view: while Monet painted nature as an atmospheric space of experience, Murillo questions it within the context of power, history, and global interconnections.
His new works created especially for the exhibition are on display at both DAS MINSK and the Museum Barberini, marking the first collaboration between the two institutions. At MINSK, three iconic works by Claude Monet from his series on the London Parliament, the grain stacks, and the Water lilies in Giverny enter into a lively dialogue with Murillo’s series Disrupted Frequencies.
The combined tour of both institutions connects both parts of the exhibition.
The tours focus on Murillo’s artistic strategies, his multi-layered interpretation of Monet, and the question of how Impressionist imagery can be reimagined and repositioned in the 21st century.
Duration: 50 minutes in each venue, with breaks and travel time in between (individual)
Note:
On the way between the two museums, two accompanying audio tracks are available in the MINSK APP: An audio walk called Bridge Walk provides informative and entertaining insights into the history of the two houses and their neighbourhood.
Or you can choose the audio piece My Name is Belisario, which tells the story of Murillo's father and his emigration.
