Antonio Ortega's artistic practice is centered on installation and performance. With minimal, apparently innocent gestures, his works aim to question collective conventions that revolve around the conflict between authority and authorship.

Doctor of Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona and professor of Art and Design at La Massana, Antonio Ortega began his artistic activity with projects such as El Arte Doméstico (La Capella, 1999), Registro de Kindness (Sala Montcada, 2000) Antonio Ortega and The Contestants (The Showroom, London, 2002), Opfer sind wir alle (Museu Abteiberg, Moenchengladbach, 2003) or Faith and Enthusiasm (Espai 13, 2004).

Among his recent artistic projects, the plinth installed on the entire second floor of the MACBA Intento de glossar el concept demagogia (2014) stands out; the ozone generator that built a space of 1047 m3 d'air purifié for the Biennale Louvain la Neuve (2017); or the permanent installation in the dome of the MNAC Mà parallamps (2022).
