Óscar Murillo: A Storm is Blowing from Paradise

Oscar Murillo will present a large-scale installation at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia in Venice, including a series of new paintings alongside an extensive, interactive presentation of Frequencies, his long-term collaborative project with schoolchildren across the world.
The project has brought together a vast, multi-layered material over almost a decade from locations worldwide. Murillo has been working in recent years to develop new ways to open up this archive internationally and create new opportunities for its rich content to be experienced through digital interactions and material manifestations. A Storm Is Blowing From Paradise will be the first opportunity for the wider public to experience some of these new interventions first-hand.
New work by Murillo will be exhibited for the first time, including a 9-meter wide gestural painting and large-scale works from his Disrupted Frequencies series featuring multiple Frequencies canvases stitched together. A new sound work by Murillo will play throughout the exhibition; the generative soundscape will move through the space and respond to live and is made up of layered recordings from different locations such as school playgrounds, basketball courts, traffic roundabouts, and vegetable gardens.
