Description

This catalogue accompanying the exhibition Invisibilia constitutes the first substantive monograph on Oscar Munoz's work in English. The publication aims to become one of the most significant research resources published on the artist's work to date by addressing the entire span of the artist's career, beginning in the 1970s and continuing to 2020. This publication on Oscar Munoz's artistic practice contributes to the field of conceptual photography both within and beyond the Latin American context. Bilingual Spanish translations effectively extend both the publication's impact and its international reach. The diverse cadre of scholars who contributed to the book offer new perspectives and fresh takes on frequently discussed artworks that are here given a new slant. A comprehensive chronology that charts Munoz's artistic evolution alongside the development of the artistic scene in Cali and national events in Colombia effectively roots the artist's works in its cultural and historical context.

Reviews

"Seen alongside his more political works, Muoz pays tribute to photographys most intimate, human purpose: to keep us company and to preserve our sweetest moments. All the while, life goes on just outside the frame." * Hyperallergic *
