Antoni Muntadas. "Other fears".

  OCTOBER 15, 2025 - MARCH 1, 2026
Curator: Bartomeu Marí
Space: Room 0
 

Other Fearsis the title of the exhibition that the University of Navarra Museum is dedicating to Antoni Muntadas, one of the most important contemporary artists of his generation, who has articulated his work as an expression of critical spirit, the media landscape, and the intersection of art with various disciplines and methodologies.

Other Fears is organized around a new work produced within the Tender Puentes artist residency program. Entitled Entre Miedos (2022-2025), this work is part of a project initiated by the artist in 2005, which analyzes the ways in which Western societies have positioned fear as one of the main political arguments since the beginning of the 21st century. Entre Miedos studies fear as an integral, albeit invisible and intangible, part of the Sanfermines bull runs. Presented as a video installation that envelops the viewer "between earth and sky," the work provides an unusual and unexpected image of the festival and the collective rituals that form part of it. Iconographically abstract, the installation gives a leading role to sound and also offers an alternative vision to the clichés that dominate the image of the city and its most emblematic festival. 

Entre Miedos is a unique work in the artist's oeuvre. In a way, the work recovers the urban experiences lived during the period of confinement as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, when production of the work began. 

The exhibition Other Fears also includes a selection of previous works which, within the same line of interest, provide a context for the reception and understanding of this new work, declining other expressions of fears that, in various parts of the world, confirm this global psychological, social, and political paradigm shift.
