Antoni Muntadas (Barcelona, 1942) works on social, political and communicative issues, the relationship between public and private space within a social context, and investigates the channels of information and the ways in which they are used to censor information or propagate ideas. He also works on projects in different media such as photography, video, publications, the Internet, multimedia installations in specific architectural spaces and interventions in urban spaces.

Since 1995 Muntadas has been gathering a series of works and projects under the title On Translation. These works are diverse in content, dimensions and materials, and all revolve around a personal experience of the author over more than forty years of activity as an artist in numerous countries. By gathering the works together under this title, Muntadas situates them within a body of experiences and specific concerns about communication, the culture of our time and the role of the artist and art in contemporary society.

In this Hong Kong presentation, he will show recent works including About Academia, The Construction of Fear and Asian Protocols, among others.
