In Dialogue: Ortrud Westheider and Anna Schneider on Claude Monet and Oscar Murillo

One starting point for the exhibition Collective Osmosis is Oscar Murillo’s continued engagement with the life and work of the Impressionist painter Claude Monet (1840–1926). In the exhibition, works by Oscar Murillo enter into direct dialogue with Monet’s paintings for the first time, giving rise to a poetic as well as political reflection on nature, power, and perception across geographic and social boundaries. The project also marks the first collaboration between MINSK and the Museum Barberini: works by Oscar Murillo and Claude Monet can be seen at both institutions.

In conversation, Ortrud Westheider, director of the Museum Barberini, and Anna Schneider, director of DAS MINSK, discuss Murillo’s artistic strategies, his interpretation of Monet, and how Impressionist visual worlds can be recontextualized in the twenty-first century.  

Free Admission.
The event will take place in the foyer of DAS MINSK.
