Marc Vilanova

Marc Vilanova (b. 1991, Capellades, Spain) is a sound and visual artist whose work explores the convergence of art, science, nature, and technology. Grounded in expanded sculpture, he aims to foster active listening to voices often ignored or silenced by the anthropocentric paradigm. His creative approach embraces an openness to the world, creating spaces for listening and reflection that challenge the boundaries of sensory knowledge.

Vilanova has participated in numerous exhibitions and presentations at cultural institutions, museums, festivals, and international biennials. Recent highlights include BIENALSUR (Buenos Aires, Argentina), the Saudi Museum of Contemporary Art (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia), the Science Gallery (Melbourne, Australia), l’Auditori de Barcelona (Spain), FILE (São Paulo, Brazil), Ars Electronica (Linz, Austria), and Tokyo Wonder Site (Japan). He has received various grants, awards, and residencies, including the Headlands Center for the Arts Fellowship, San Francisco (2022), the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art Fellowship, Omaha (2019), the KARA Prize, Tehran (2018), and the Tokyo Experimental Festival Prize (2016). He lives and works in Barcelona.
