Oriol Vilanova (Manresa, 1980) lives and works in Brussels. His artistic practice is characterized by a sustained, almost obsessive, habit of collecting postcards, creating a vast personal archive that questions the museum as a system of accumulation, preservation, and valorization of cultural memory.
His work has been exhibited internationally in solo exhibitions at Garage Cosmos (Brussels); Kunstmuseum Bochum; ICA Sofia; Albright-Knox Art Gallery (Buffalo); Nouveau Musée National de Monaco; Antoni Tàpies Foundation (Barcelona); CA2M (Móstoles); M Museum (Leuven); and Museo Cerralbo (Madrid), among many others. He has participated in group exhibitions at institutions such as IVAM (Valencia); Musée Picasso (Paris); Palais de Tokyo (Paris); MACBA (Barcelona); Victoria & Albert Museum (London); and Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza (Madrid). and Centre Pompidou-Metz. His work is present in important collections such as MACBA, IVAM, CGAC, Fundación Botín, Nouveau Musée National de Monaco, KANAL - Centre Pompidou (Brussels), Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, and Albright-Knox Art Gallery.
