The multidisciplinary practice of Osías Yanov (Buenos Aires, 1980) unfolds at the intersection of sculpture, performance, and collective processes. His works function as devices that organize and intensify relationships between bodies. Through installations, actions, and durational encounters, he develops tools for dismantling normalized forms of subjectivity and social organization. His practice reconfigures hierarchies, roles, and modes of being together, bringing into dialogue queer theory, ritual, nocturnal experience, and practices connected to the natural world. His projects incorporate cultural and historical objects as active agents that shape embodied ways of inhabiting the world.

He studied photography and theater in the early 2000s and later trained in industrial design at the University of Buenos Aires. He participated in the Kuitca Fellowship Program at Universidad Torcuato Di Tella (2011–12). In 2025, he completed a diploma in Community Feminisms: Spirituality, Politics, and Feminist Epistemologies—Africa in Abya Yala at the Universidad Nacional de Jujuy, Argentina.

In 2018, he was an artist-in-residence at Gasworks, London, and in 2020 at the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program. Over the course of his career, he has developed projects with numerous art  institutions, including VI Sesión en el Parlamento at the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA) in 2015, and CRISIS / Zarigüeya at the Museo Casa del Alabado, Quito, Ecuador, in 2016, curated by Manuela Moscoso and Pablo de la Fuente. He participated in the 11th Gwangju Biennale (2016) curated by Maria Lind, developed a large performance piece for Faena Art Center, Buenos Aires (2019), and took part in the 11th Berlin Biennale (2020) curated by Agustin Perez Rubio, Lissete Llagando et all. More recent presentations include the 12th Göteborg Biennial (2023) and exhibitions at Amant and the Ford Foundation, New York (2024). His work has also been exhibited at CA2M, Madrid; MACBA, Barcelona; Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and Galeria Municipal do Porto, among others.

Yanov is a member of the artistic collectives Rosa Chancho, Suavesitxs, Sirenes Errantes, and Resindensida. From 2021 to 2024, he co-directed the cultural center Pulpería Mutuálica in Buenos Aires. He currently teaches in the Artists Program at Universidad Torcuato Di Tella and at the Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero. He is presently developing Sintrópolis, a collective project at the intersection of art and ecology, based in a rural jungle region in northwestern Argentina.

His work is held in public collections including Museo Reina Sofía (Madrid), CA2M (Madrid), FRAC Pays de la Loire, LACMA (Los Angeles), and MALBA (Buenos Aires), among others.
