DAS MINSK and Museum Baberini, Potsdam, Germany
March 14, 2026–August 9, 2026
Oscar Murillo will take over the spaces at DAS MINSK Kunsthaus in Potsdam with his project Collective Osmosis, a celebration of mark-making and a space for exchange between his paintings, installation works, and the work of Claude Monet.
For Murillo, the scientific metaphor of osmosis, the process by which water particles move through a semi-permeable boundary with the aim of reaching a state of equilibrium, can be seen as a model for opening the museum and building bridges between the indoor and outdoor space–both between the museum and the city, as well as between Potsdam and the world.
The exhibition also marks the first collaboration between DAS MINSK and Museum Barberini, with works by Oscar Murillo on display at both institutions.
Anna Schneider, director of DAS MINSK, states: “Oscar Murillo succeeds in pushing forward the discourse around painterly practices, breaking down visible and invisible boundaries, and redefining social and economic cycles. His work reconceives the possibilities of community-building and Collective Osmosis becomes a lived intellectual and practical experiment in fostering exchange and counteracting inequalities. Oscar Murillo’s choice of Claude Monet as an accomplice in this project, who translated light and landscape into beloved works of radiant color, is a congenial move. He not only succeeds in expanding his own frame of reference, but also in getting closer to an idea of universal human community via images and acts which live in our collective imagination.”
