Oscar Munoz comment from Alice Anne Ellis

Oscar Muniz - Visual Arts Center



At first I thought the Oscar Munoz installations were a little bit gimmicky and empty but, as time has passed and my reactions to them have ripened, I loved this show. I think there is so much to say about them. Watching his accomplished drawing is pleasant but seeing it being eroded by the elements lends tension and introduces a separate, random beauty as the evaporation creates a different shape. Artist vainly competes with the sun – one could talk about man's vanity, place in the universe, the transience of art and artifacts. In the spirit of recognizing transience, I took a picture of my neighbor’s shadow on the video projection.
