Juan Munoz

Published on the occasion of the exhibition, Juan Muñoz: Sculptures, this catalogue features full plate images, installation views, and text from an interview with Juan Muñoz and Tim Adams for The Observer in 2001.

Belonging to a generation of artists that dominate contemporary figurative sculpture and installation, Muñoz regarded himself as a storyteller, making his sculpture a means by which to tell his stories. Muñoz treated each installation as unique, believing a different context gave the works new power and meaning – his reoccurring characters, the dwarfs, the Chinese figures, the people on the balconies perform as actors rather than individual sculpture, working with the interplay between the figure and the surrounding architecture.
