Muntadas, artist, New York

Born in Barcelona, Muntadas has lived and worked in New York since 1971. His work addresses social, political and communications issues; the relationship between public and private space within social frameworks; and the investigation of channels of information and the ways in which they may be used to censor central information or promulgate ideas. He works in a variety of media, including photography, video, publications, Internet and multi-media installations. His works have been exhibited throughout the world, including at the Venice Biennale, Documenta Vl and X in Kassel, the Sao Paulo Biennial, the Whitney Biennial, the Havana Biennial, The Museum of Modern Art in New York. Between 1990 and 2014, Muntadas was Professor of the Practice at ACT/Department of Architecture at MIT, Cambridge (US).
