Oriol Vilanova is a Catalan artist living in Brussels. By rummaging through flea markets, his favorite places for research, he has built up a collection of postcards to create a “thinking machine” that provides the conceptual foundations for his plays, installations, and performances. His works have been exhibited at institutions including Fundació Antoni Tàpies, Barcelona; M-Museum Leuven, Belgium; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; MACBA, Barcelona; CA2M, Madrid; NMNM, Monaco; Centre d’edition contemporaine, Geneva; FRAC Champagne-Ardenne, Reims; and L’appartement 22, Rabat, Morocco.
