Miralda - Muntadas

Miralda-Muntadas is the artistic name of two artists: Catalan Antoni Miralda and Spanish-American Juan Downey Muntadas. The two began working together in the 1970s on artistic and social research projects. Their work focuses on exploring themes related to identity, popular culture, consumption, and globalization. Antoni Miralda is known for his installations and performances that combine cultural elements from different regions of the world. He has also worked on public art projects, such as the transformation of the Collserola Tower in Barcelona into a light installation. For his part, Juan Downey Muntadas focused on the use of technology in his work, creating video installations and interactive performances. Among the awards Miralda-Muntadas has received are the Gold Medal of Fine Arts from the Government of Spain in 1996 and the National Prize for Plastic Arts from the Generalitat of Catalonia in 2014. His work has been exhibited in numerous exhibitions and museums around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid.
