Oscar Murillo. Collective Osmosis

The Colombian-born artist Oscar Murillo engages with the interior and exterior spaces of MINSK, turning the Potsdam art house into a venue for a vibrant experiment on exchange and community. With his project "Collective Osmosis," Murillo creates a dialogue between his contemporary painting practice, his installations, and the impressionist works of Claude Monet. The exhibition highlights the inherent potential within every person to create artistic gestures with brush, hand, or pen. The term "osmosis" used in the title describes in science how water particles move through a semipermeable membrane to establish a state of equilibrium. Murillo uses this metaphor for the opening of the museum: his exhibition fosters permeability and exchange between inside and outside, between museum and city, as well as between Potsdam and the world. The project also marks the first collaboration between MINSK and the Barberini Museum: works by Oscar Murillo can be seen in both venues.
