Oulab’s art has been exhibited in the prestigious Centre Pompidou and the Musée National d’Art Moderne in Paris, as well as the Musée des Abattoirs in Toulouse and the Musée Archéologique d’Istres. His work has been shown at the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Lisbon, MUDAM Luxembourg, FRAC Lorraine in Metz, and Haus der Kunst in Munich, and has featured in major international biennials, including the Busan Biennale, as well as other significant group exhibitions.
