Coinciding with the appointment of Antoni Muntadas as Doctor Honoris Causa by the Universitat Politècnica de València, the exhibition Muntadas. A selection: Information and Documentation features artifacts from his artistic career.
This collection articulates a series of conceptual stations linked to the work of Antoni Muntadas: posters, catalogs, projections... An angular view of his active and collaborative work over more than five decades.
From the early 1970s, Muntadas began working with video, photography, installation, and interdisciplinary projects that questioned the logic of communication in contemporary problematics and society. This period marked his commitment to an art that thinks, questions, projects, and proposes.
Since then, his work has consistently and lucidly explored the relationship between power, language, information, and perception. Muntadas has developed projects on every continent, always with a collaborative and investigative approach. Projects such as The File Room, Political Advertisement, and About Academia have become fundamental references for understanding the role of art in the dynamics of communication, collective memory, and social imagination.
The exhibition is dedicated to Antoni Mercader, in recognition of a long collaborative relationship with Muntadas that spanned from 1963 to 2025, as well as his active participation since 2011 as a founding member of the Muntadas Archive Association. Center of Studies and Research (ARXIU/AM).
