Biography

Her work explores different aspects of 20th- and 21st-century art. She has published several books on avant-garde art movements, as well as many papers for specialist journals and contemporary art anthologies. Her interests in art history encompass a wide range of ages and subjects, focusing mainly on 20th- and 21st-century art. Her 20th-century research centres on Catalan art, Spanish art and, above all, international avant-garde movements such as Dadaism, surrealism, abstract art and pop art. In 1999, after setting up the Art, Architecture and Digital Society research group, she began to focus on the subject of new media and digital technologies from a multidisciplinary perspective, exploring their effect on contemporary society and culture. Within this field, she has carried out research at the University of Barcelona’s Virtual Museum and helped organise international conferences and seminars on the subject.
