Antoni Muntadas

Antoni Muntadas studied at the Escuela Tecnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales in Barcelona and at the Pratt Graphic Center in New York. He has taught and has had exhibitions in prestigious institutions across the world, and was recently invited to teach in the Department of architecture and visual arts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Muntadas' works focus on modes of communication to question how they impact public as well as private space. He relies on several media, including photography, video, printed text, internet, and multimedia installations.
