Problems of translation have long fascinated Antoni Muntadas. In a 1995 manifesto the artist proclaimed his concern with the way in which the transmission of information through different systems and its subsequent translation can transform, fragment, deform and even obscure or censor any original meaning. That concern has fed the ongoing On Translation series through projects which vary greatly in terms of their formalization, projects which pose questions about such themes as the identity of artistic practice, the idea of its social value, and the possibilities of representation, curatorial interpretation, transcription and conservation of heritage.…

Moving from one place to another, constantly changing countries, and always living as a foreigner allows for an expressiveness that is inaccessible to the sedentary artist. In that same sense, travelling to marginalized or peripheral territories can result in an unusual representation of the world. This is the situation of Fahlstr÷m, who used his work as a keen cartographic instrument to measure the planetÆs geopolitical and geopoetic changes. His workûranging from islands to peninsulas to continents and planetary mapsûtake the language of the comic to its logical conclusion.

His maps are an amorphous representation of the flow of power over territory., English, Year2001, Illust. B/W117, Illust. Color164, ISBN 8495273497, Code 6230. RETAIL ONLY.
