Oscar Murillo: Frequencies
This book documents Oscar Murillo’s Frequencies, a participatory project the artist began in 2013 that examines the development and nature of community. Over the past ten years, members of Murillo’s family and studio, as well as other collaborators, visited schools around the world to attach blank canvases to students’ desks and then encouraged the children to write and paint on them over a period of several months. Edited by Alessandro Rabottini, this detailed archival record of the project juxtaposes and combines methodical classification with the chaotic joy of everyday experience as represented by the images and the stories surrounding the creation of the works. Frequencies also documents A Storm Is Blowing from Paradise at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia in Venice, the project’s most comprehensive exhibition to date. The book features contextual essays by Mark Godfrey, Eleanor Nairne, and Gabi Ngcobo; a conversation between Murillo and Rabottini; and commentary by those who assisted in the realization of Frequencies.
