Daniel G. Andújar is a visual artist, theoretician and activist who works and lives in Barcelona. Through interventions in the public space and a critical use of digital media and the communication strategies of the corporations that are connected to it, the theoretical and artistic work developed by Daniel G. Andújar (Almoradí, Alicante, Spain, 1966) oscillates between real territories (the city) and virtual ones (the Web). He begins with the premise that, by showing and dissecting the connections between both, the inequalities generated by social and power relationships in a context like the current one can be envisaged. Most of his artistic projects are based on collaborative research that critically explores different political, historical, social and cultural phenomena and their media representations: body politics, corruption, censorship, xenophobia, urban developments, cultural industries, the inclusion and exclusion of technologies, the use of public space, etc. He has taught and directed workshops and seminars for artists and social collectives in numerous countries. Of particular note is his project Technologies To The People (TTTP), created in 1996 as a fictitious corporation to ironically reflect the cynicism with which large corporations manage the digital world, and his exploration of the archive, not as a repository of information, but as a vast machinery for the control of knowledge.
Since 2000, his projects have been exhibited internationally, including: the Museo Universidad, Alicante (2000), Aarhus Kunstmuseum. Centre for Contemporary Art, Aarhus, Denmark (2007), Württembergischer Kunstverein, Stuttgart (2008), Museum for Modern Art, Bremen (2009), National Museum of Contemporary Art, Seoul (2010), Centre del Carme, Valencia (2018), Carré d'Art-Musée d'art contemporain, Nîmes (2019), La Virreina Centre de la Imatge, Barcelona (2020), Es Baluard, Palma de Mallorca (2022) and the Museo Nacional de Antropología, Madrid (2023). In 2015, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid, hosted a retrospective of his work. He has also participated in numerous biennials, including Manifesta 4, Frankfurt/Main (2002), 53rd Venice Biennale (2009), and documenta 14 in Athens and Kassel (2017). His work is part of numerous collections, such as the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid; Newark Museum of Art, New Jersey; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Institut Valencià d'Art Modern; and MACBA, Barcelona, among others.
