Antoni Muntadas was born in Barcelona in 1942 and has lived in New York since
1971. His work addresses social, political and communications issues, the
relationship between public and private space within social frameworks, as well
as channels of information and the ways they may be used to censor central
information or promulgate ideas. He works on projects in different media such
as photography, video, publications, Internet and multi-media installations.
Since 1995, Muntadas has grouped together a set of works and projects
titled On Translation. Their content, dimensions and materials are
highly diverse, and they all focus on the author’s personal experience
and artistic activity in numerous countries over a period of thirty years. By
grouping such works together under this epigraph, Muntadas
places them within a body of experience and concrete concerns regarding
communication, the culture of our times and the role of the artist and art in
contemporary society.
