Antoni Muntadas is a multimedia artist who worked in painting and sculpture in his native Catalonia before moving to New York in 1971. He has produced an important body of installations, public art projects and videotapes. He has focused his artistic activity on a critique of the media, (television, the press, advertising, and architecture). Deconstructing the systems of representation and information that pervade the contemporary «media landscape,» he posits a compelling discourse on the «invisible mechanisms» that inform the production and reception of mass media texts. He will be the Spanish Representative of the forthcoming Venice Art Biennial.
