Cross-reading: Oriol Vilanova in Dialogue with Walter Leblanc

Oriol Vilanova explores systems of collecting and display by means of postcards and insignificant cultural artefacts, and how these become valuable. For his residency at the Walter & Nicole Leblanc Foundation, the Brussels-based Spanish artist immersed himself in the Foundation’s archive and collection. The outcome is a new body of work that reflects on the exhibition as an artistic format, how we curate, exhibit, and transmit images, and how this shapes our collective imagination, thereby creating a new dialogue in which collecting becomes a performative, critical, and poetic act.
