Symposium in English
I try to live in black and white, but I'm so blue.
Billie Eilish quote from a Frequencies canvas, Potsdam 2026
Saturday, June 20, 2026
1–7 PM
With the exhibition Collective Osmosis Oscar Murillo has transformed the indoor and outdoor spaces at DAS MINSK into the site of a lived experiment in community and exchange. A series of lectures, talks, and performances titled Blue – A Conversation on Collective Osmosis opens a space of resonance with the topics touched upon in the exhibition, such as permeability, exchange, transformation and migration. A particular focus of the symposium is the colour blue: in the work of Oscar Murillo and Claude Monet, and in the contemporary artistic practices of others.

The symposium is free of charge. Registration is required for all participants.
Note: The event language is English.
