1708 Partners With Visual Arts Center to Bring Oscar Muñoz to Richmond

This coming Saturday (Feb. 18th) 1708 will have Oscar Muñoz’s exhibition, Imprints for a Fleeting Memorial on display with the official opening reception for the work on March 2nd (First Friday), coinciding with his opening at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond.

Muñoz has seen a recent crossover into to Europe and North America since his participation in the 52nd Venice Biennial. His work has been featured at the “Tate Modern, L.A. MoCA, the Miami Art Museum, the Hirshhorn Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and La Caixa in Barcelona, among others.”

The featured installation at 1708 will be Ambulatorio, 36 black and white aerial photographs of Cali, Colombia, Muñoz’s home. The photographs are mounted on security glass and installed on the floor, inviting visitors to literally traverse the city, becoming participants in the construction of meaning surrounding the work.

The Visual Arts Center of Richmond will feature  an overview of Muñoz’s creative process as a whole, with twelve works spanning a variety of media.

More information about the exhibition can be found at our website and also in this week’s issue of Style Weekly which is a free publication distributed widely across the city of Richmond. Again, save the date March 2nd for the First Friday openings and we look forward to seeing you there!
