Artist Talk: Oscar Murillo

Artist Oscar Murillo examines notions of cultural exchange, globalization, labor, and action through his monumental paintings that reflect the processes of their making. Join a conversation between Murillo and Hannah Klemm, associate curator of modern and contemporary art, as they discuss his recent paintings created in his Colombian hometown, La Paila, where he has resided during the COVID-19 pandemic. The paintings will be on view at the Museum in Currents 121: Oscar Murillo, starting March 18, 2022.
