Two artists look at dueling political ads since the “I Like Ike” days, and find that hatred and fear are often the go-to themes. 

La Galería Cadaqués presenta una retrospectiva de los artistas que han expuesto en la galería Nota Bene y trabajado en la residencia de artistas LOFT, ambos espacios dirigidos por la galerista Catherine Sagnier.

POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT is a 40-year-long video project by Antoni Muntadas and Marshall Reese. Every four years, coinciding with the U.S. presidential elections since 1984, Muntadas and Reese compile and update their anthology, tracing the history of political advertising from its origins in 1952 to the present.

The campaign spots are shown without commentary. The latest version debuts one week before election day. In 2020, during the pandemic, the artists streamed their 10th version on the East and West coasts in conversation with curators and political scientists over Zoom.
