Catalogue Note

“My studio is a cradle of dust and dirt, of pollution. I don’t tidy up at the end of each production process. It’s all very much on purpose; it’s a continuous process, a machine of which I’m the catalyst. Things get moved around, I step on them, and they get contaminated. It’s not about leaving traces, it’s about letting things mature on their own” (Oscar Murillo in conversation with Legacy Russell, Bomb Magazine, No. 122, Winter 2013, online).
