Yanov participated in the Beca Kuitca/Universidad Di Tella Artists Program in 2011-12. From 2001 to 2010 he was one of four members in the experimental artists’ collective Rosa Chancho. In 2012 he presented Dinámica de Encaje, his first individual installation/performance work. In 2013 he presented a performance curated by Ines Katzsenstein and Javier Villa. In 2015 he was commissioned by MALBA, Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires and its Artistic Director, Agustín Perez Rubio, to produce VI Sesión en el Parlamento, a complex performance involving a dozen dancers he had met in Buenos Aires’ night club scene and a large sculpture which responded to the museum’s architecture.
In 2016 he worked with curators Manuela Moscoso and Pablo Lafuente on Crisis, a performance and exhibition at Casa del Alabado, a pre Columbian collection in Quito, Ecuador, researching ancient cultures which had developed fluid definitions of gender and power roles. In 2017 Yanov participated in the Gwangju Biennial, South Korea, curated by Maria Lind. In 2018 he was awarded the Gasworks Residency in London.
In 2019 he was awarded the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin residency program. That same year he was commissioned to develop Coreografías de Sal (Choreographies of Salt), a project involving months of research, intensive group training and workshops leading to two-day performances at Faena Arts Center in Buenos Aires. It later continued as a series of group exercises in a natural context which led to the project he presented as a solo show at the 2020 Berlin Biennial. In 2022 he was invited by MACBA, Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona, Spain to develop a special performance working with differently-abled people. In early 2023 he presented a performance at the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico
City and later this year he will participate in the Gothenburg Biennial, Sweden. He currently runs Pulpería Mutualica, an alternative cultural
space in Buenos Aires where parties, performances and workshops take place.
