Public Art is a concept that has been in discussion and revision for probably as long as the evolution of the terms \u2018art\u2019 and \u2018city\u2019 themselves. The public interventions discussed in this talk are seen as temporary manifestations intended to activate a long term discourse. By considering art and architecture as public devices, this talk explores new ways of understanding the concept of the \u2018spatial cultural identity\u2019 as relevant subject to contemporary critical discourses and practices on urban space. This concept will be used to address and negotiate the complexities of ideas, situations, objects and materials that are inherent to any public space. Questions and concerns of culture and identity within the cartography of a space will be central to our discussion.<\/p>\n

Antoni Muntadas was born in Barcelona in 1942 and has lived in New York since 1971. Through his works he addresses social, political and communication issues such as the relationship between public and private space within social frameworks, and investigates channels of information and the ways they may be used to censor or promulgate ideas. His projects are presented in different media such as photography, video, publications, the internet, installations and urban interventions. He is currently Visiting Professor at the Visual Arts Program in the School of Architecture at the MIT in Cambridge and the Instituto Universitario de Arquitectura del Veneto in Venice. One of his most recent awards is the Premio Vel\u00e1zquez de las Artes Pl\u00e1sticas 2009 granted by the Spanish Ministry of Culture. His work has been exhibited in numerous contexts, including The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Mus\u00e9e Contemporain de Montreal, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sof\u00eda in Madrid, the Museo de Arte Moderno in Buenos Aires, while other international events in which he has presented work are the VI and X editions of Documenta Kassel (1977, 1997), the Whitney Biennial of American Art (1991), the 51st Venice Biennial (2005) and those in S\u00e3o Paulo, Lyon, Taipei, Gwangju and Havana. This year Muntadas has exhibited Informa\u00e7\u00e3o-Espa\u00e7o-Controle in Esta\u00e7ao Pinacoteca in Sao Paulo, Brasil; and About Academia, at The Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA. Currently he presents \u2026Baixa a Bola! in Galeria Luisa Strina en S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil.<\/p>\n
