Take a behind-the-scenes tour of the exhibition "Oscar Muñoz: Invisibilia" with the artist himself and curator Dr. Vanessa Davidson.

Filmed during the installation of the show, this is a “conversación ambulante,” or “walking conversation.” You’re invited into the galleries while work is still in progress, as Muñoz and Davidson discuss the symbolism behind artworks and the relationships between them, as well as the artist’s process and turning points in his five-decade-long practice. Don’t miss it! ¡No se la pierda!

Born in Popayán, Colombia, in 1951, and active in Cali, Oscar Muñoz is one of the most important artists working in Latin America today. Over the course of the past five decades, he has deconstructed the medium of photography, splicing photographic processes with printmaking, drawing, painting, sculpture, video, installation, and interactive works. This is why, despite being awarded the Hasselblad International Award in Photography in 2018, he is not truly a photographer. Muñoz has had traveling retrospectives across Latin America and major exhibitions all over Europe; "Invisibilia" is his first U.S. retrospective.

This behind-the-scenes tour is in Spanish with English subtitles followed by a previously recorded Q&A with curator Dr. Vanessa Davidson.

Funding provided by the Carolyn Harris Hynson Centennial Endowment.

Originally recorded on April 13, 2022.

"Oscar Muñoz: Invisibilia" is on view at the Blanton Museum of Art through June 05, 2022.
