Oscar Murillo Turns DAS MINSK into Open-Air Collective Painting Experiment
Oscar Murillo has transformed DAS MINSK–Kunsthaus in Potsdam into a participatory art project, inviting visitors to paint on large-scale canvases outdoors. The exhibition 'Collective Osmosis,' on view through August 9, 2026, pairs Murillo's abstract and participative works with Impressionist paintings by Claude Monet. It marks the first collaborative exhibition between DAS MINSK and Museum Barberini, both part of the Hasso Plattner Foundation. A new podcast explores connections between the Colombian-born, London-based artist and the French Impressionist. The project stems from Murillo's study of Monet's life and work, including Monet's later struggles with cataracts.
