The publication On Translation: The Audience develops and explores essential aspects of the new work, through notions related to the concepts of translation, reception, and interpretation in today’s culture. If the field of the action is limited to institutions, the project appealed to the critical capacity of the public to convert perception into meaning.
On Translation: The Audience is the title of the project that Muntadas had developed with Witte de With from October 1998 to September 1999, in various institutions in the city of Rotterdam. The work took place over twelve months, ‘happening’ every four weeks in a different institution.
