Visual artist.
His work started out from an early interest in observing how the reconstruction of Basque culture in the 20th century adopted the language of abstraction. The representation of the collective, the construction of identity and the role of technique are recurring themes in his work, often described as a criticism of ideology. His work confronts conventional narratives of history, archive or ethnographic objects, or political and subcultural representations, observing the technical and material conditions of all of them. Writing is a regular recourse in this work, always related to sculpture. He has had individual exhibitions at the Museo Reina Sofía, MACBA, the Museo Oteiza, the Museo del Alabado in Quito and Raven Row in London, and taken part in collective ones at Secession in Vienna, the Guggenheim Bilbao and the Venice, São Paulo and Taipei biennials. He teaches sculpture at KKH, Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm.
