Bologna hosts the first Italian solo exhibition of Antoni Muntadas, with works from the 1970s to the present day

Villa delle Rose in Bologna hosts, from January 18 to March 22, 2020, the first solo exhibition in Italy of Spanish artist Antoni Muntadas (Barcelona, 1942) entitled Muntadas. Interconnections.

One of the main events of the 2020 edition of ART CITY Bologna, the exhibition presents a cross-sectional analysis of the artist’s work, spanning from the early 1970s to the present, establishing new fields of meaning and punctual relationships among the recurring themes in his interdisciplinary analysis: globalization, transnational capitalism, the notion of the device, the public/private relationship, the relationships between monuments and memory, the “microphysics” of power, the interrogation of the archive, the processes of translation, the circulation of information, and the political imaginary conveyed by the media.

Muntadas. Interconnections is an exhibition curated by Cecilia Guida and Lorenzo Balbi, promoted by Istituzione Bologna Musei | MAMbo, in collaboration with Artium, Centro-Museo Vasco de Arte Contemporáneo in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Álava, with the partnership of Fondazione Federico Zeri and the patronage of the Department of the Arts of the Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna.

A publication has been produced for the occasion by Corraini Edizioni, with critical texts by Beatriz Herráez, Lorenzo Balbi, Cecilia Guida, Arturo fito Rodríguez Bornaetxea, Roberto Pinto and Gabriel Villota Toyos.

For all information you can visit MAMbo’s official website.
