Oscar Murillo: La era de la sinceridad

Publisher: Kilimanjaro / OMO Creates

Publication Date: 2014

La era de la sinceridad is a retrospective look at two of Oscar Murillo’s earliest and rarest publishing projects, A Documentation of The Artist’s Work and Oscar Murillo: Agua ‘e Lulo, both of which are newsprint publications. Rather than reprinting these small-run, zine-like papers, this photographic archive documents them as objects with three-dimensional physicality — photographed by Blommers and Schumm, the publication’s main content is devoted to high-gloss, still-life shots which record each folded page as a bona fide artwork.

To tie in with the haptic associations of a broadsheet paper, the artist’s newest painted works — from which the title of the publication is taken — are included as a series of fold-out posters at equivalent scale. The result is a new approach to archive and compilation.

Also included are 5 loose, fold-out posters of Murillo’s paintings.

Artist and Contributors

Oscar Murillo

Born in Colombia, Oscar Murillo (b. 1986) is known for an inventive and itinerant practice that encompasses paintings, works on paper, sculptures, installations, actions, live events, collaborative projects, and videos. Taken as a whole, his body of work demonstrates a sustained emphasis on the notion of cultural exchange and the multiple ways in which ideas, languages, and even everyday items are displaced, circulated, and increasingly intermingled.
