Conceived as an archive the book brings together the experiences of Frequencies a global
participatory project initiated by multimedia artist Oscar Murillo in 2013. Part of the
artist's multimedia practice Frequencies addresses the notion of community through the
lens of its making. For over a decade it has involved members of Murillo's family studio team
and collaborators visiting schools around the globe fixing raw canvas onto classroom desks
and inviting the students to freely mark write and draw on them for a period of approximately
six months. Murillo has collected an archive of canvases which he presented in various
interactive exhibitions. OSCAR MURILLO (*1986 La Paila Colombia) has developed a
multi-faceted and ambitious practice that spans painting collaborative projects video sound
and installation. He received his MFA from the Royal College of Art in 2012 and was one of four
artists to collectively win the prestigious Turner Prize in 2019.
