Oscar Murillo's 'The Flooded Garden' at Tate Modern questions art's social purpose and corporate sponsorship.

Oscar Murillo's immersive artwork, 'The Flooded Garden,' has debuted in Tate Modern's Turbine Hall in London, as part of the UNIQLO Tate Play initiative. This installation allows guests to create art on a 500-square-meter canvas using blue, pink, and yellow acrylic paints, inspired by Monet's Water Lilies. Originally from Colombia and later raised in London, Murillo received the Turner Prize in 2019, with a focus on themes of migration and labor. His 2014 show featured a production line from the Columbina factory. Since its introduction at the 2015 Venice Biennale, the ongoing 'Frequencies' project has engaged over 100,000 schoolchildren. Additionally, the Gagosian gallery is hosting a related exhibition titled 'Them.' UNIQLO is funding the Tate Play program for five years, despite Murillo's earlier critiques of Tate's progressive stance.
