From Sicardi Ayers Bacino:
“Intentos / Attempts features a selection of works from Oscar Muñoz’s Intentos [Attempts] series, video works that Blanton Museum of Art curator Vanessa K. Davidson says “make visible the customarily invisible experiments that precede finished works.” Shown on miniature projectors, the videos invite us viewers into the intimacy of the making of an artwork. This series, that prizes process equally with product, aligns itself with Muñoz’s decades-long experimentation with the field of photography, applying the image-capturing process with non-traditional mediums such as charcoal and water in methods that invite the element of chance to engage with themes of memory and mortality. “Adopting photography as a tool to be deconstructed and made into metaphor, he compels us to reconsider how memory itself is made into meaning through works predicated on process.”
