Until 2018, he was part of the Los Carpinteros collective, which co- founded in 1992, and currently lives and works in Madrid. His work has been exhibited in museums and institutions around the world and is part of collections such as MoMA, Whitney Museum of American Art, Solomon R.

His work combines architecture, design and sculpture; and he uses humor and irony to reflect on art, politics and society.
