Muntadas’ work addresses social, political and communications issues concerning the relationship between public and private space within specific social frameworks, and investigates channels of information and the ways these may be used to extinguish or promulgate ideas. His projects are presented in different media such as photography, video, publications, the Internet, installations, and urban interventions. Muntadas has received numerous awards and grants, and his work has been exhibited extensively; at The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Musée d’Art Contemporaine, Montreal; Berkeley Art Museum; the Museo de Arte Moderno, Buenos Aires; the Pinacoteca de São Paulo, Brazil; the VI and X editions of documenta, Kassel; the Whitney Biennial of American Art, New York; and the 51st Venice Biennial. More recent shows include his exhibition at NCCA in Moscow, Russia, at the The Bronx Museum in New York, and a retrospective, Muntadas: Entre/Between, which culminated last March at Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid.
