Oscar Murillo - Violent Amnesia

St Peter's Church, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire

Art Exhibition

Central to this major solo exhibition by Oscar Murillo is the first public presentation of a new painting created over a period of four years, from 2014 to 2018.

St. Peter’s Church is part of the dynamic and diverse installation at Kettle’s Yard, which makes use not only of its own  galleries, but also the window on Castle Street, the lower floor of the Kettle’s Yard House, and the research space, as well as areas between the galleries.

The title "Violent Amnesia," applied to the exhibition as a whole, reflects the artist’s interest in collective forgetting; in the museum’s description, these works express a "precarious relationship between anxiety and inertia.
