Grilo is a Spanish contemporary artist based in Berlin. Grilo’s practise includes a variety of different mediums, including sculpture, animation, sound installation and digital media such as Powerpoint presentations. Grilo is particularly interested in sculptural complexity and the physical qualities of display – using the notion of “art as information” for the 50’s and 60’s to springboard himself into working with the intangibility of art.

Grilo has exhibited his work in several Global institutions and galleries such as Fundació Joan Miró – Espai 13, Union Pacific Gallery, London, Hildesheim Kunstverein and Bard Centre for Curatorial Studies in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York. He has also collaborated with several prestigious artist such as Spiros Hadjidjanos, Metaphysics-VR for the ZKM Center for Art and Media and Kremer Pigmente on a commercially available non-drying oil paint called Everfresh. Grilo currently resides in Berlin, and has curated an exhibition at Future Gallery Berlin titled Twenty Thousand Years of Yarn in which he exhibited a mix of artworks and artifacts made by artists, corporations and natural phenomena.

Grilo is currently working at Gaswork, where he continues to research and work on industrialist Samuel Slater, known in North America for making a replica of British cotton weaving machine in the 1780’s. This focus on Slater relates to the artist’s broader interest in connectivity, as well as the way it helps to shape cultural and technological evolution. Grilo has also taken to photography on his Instagram account, where he has nearly 1,500 followers.
