Bio

Oscar Muñoz, born in Popayán, Colombia (1951), currently lives and works in Cali. Muñoz graduated from Escuela de Bellas Artes (1971), and has developed his career through his prolific investigation of post-modern methods of representation, using non-conventional photographic and mechanical printing techniques and video. His creation of imagery and historiography through transient mediums such as human breath, water, dust and methacrylate focus on the precarious reality of human life.

Muñoz’s works are in important public and private collections including the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; The Daros Collection, Zurich, Switzerland; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; The CU Art Museum, University of Colorado at Boulder; and the Tate Modern in London. In 2007, Muñoz was invited to participate in the 52nd International Venice Biennale curated by Robert Storr. In the past decade he has participated in group exhibitions and solo exhibitions at numerous international art institutions, including O.K. Offenes Kulturhaus, Linz Austria; Pori Art Museum, Pori Finland; The Korea Foundation, Seoul Korea; Museo Extremeño e Iberoamericano de Arte Contemporaneo (MEIAC), Badajoz, Spain, Prefix Institute of Contemporary Art, Toronto Canada; Institute of International Visual Arts (INIVA), London, U.K.; Museo Tamayo de Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico DF, Philagrafika: Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia U.S, Círculo de Bellas Artes, Madrid Spain; Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art, Hiroshima Japan; Daros Exhibitions, Zurich Switzerland; Mori Art Museum, Tokyo Japan; and the PICA Museum, Perth Australia.
