Óscar Muñoz

After being shown at the Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango of the Museo de Arte del Banco de la República and at the Museo de Arte de Antioquía, in Medellin, the exhibition entitled Óscar Muñoz. Photographs is presented at the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This retrospective exhibition of Colombian artist Óscar Muñoz showcases seventy works—including drawings, sculptures, installations, photographs and videos—that are representative of his 40 years of artistic career.

Open to the public until February 25, the exhibition is divided into several sections dedicated to flowing and unstable images, images as impressions and as reflections that rely on supports that serve as places for the image to be both configured and dissolved.

All of the exhibited works share the same geographic context: the city of Cali, here used as an atmospheric element and as source of representation, just as wind, fire and water are elements present in many of the works by Muñoz that reference life and death's essential processes and cycles.

The work by Óscar Muñoz nourishes from photographic techniques to study the mechanisms to set the light in the image and light's relationship with personal memories and the need to establish a collective memory.

Following its stay in Buenos Aires, the exhibition will travel to the Museo de Arte in Lima, Peru, where it will be inaugurated in the month of March of 2013.
