Catalogue Note
“Sometimes I use the word champagne – something that most people in our society have had at one point or another in their life. The more often you drink champagne the more association there is to affluence, but if you just drink champagne once a year at Christmas then it’s more of a humble thing.” (Oscar Murillo in conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist in: Exhibition Catalogue, Rubell Family Collection, Oscar Murillo: Work, 2012, pp. 42-43).
