A Treatise Around Contact Drawing is a 400-page book that brings together 20 years of drawing and working in public space — an editorial project that traces the prolific career of Spanish visual artist Daniel Muñoz over the past two decades.
This anthological volume highlights key moments in his work: interventions, murals, drawings, and installations created in public spaces, museums, art centers, and galleries around the world.
The cover is a bold statement of intent: his handwritten CV. But not a professional résumé — a vital curriculum. From 1982, when he began drawing every afternoon in his mother’s shop, to 2024, the year he felt an urgent need to bring it all together in this book. The cover, as the first idea of the book, presents the word as drawing — life above the image.
Through a curated selection of images and texts, the book offers an in-depth look at his creative process, his concerns, and the impact of his work across different and ever-changing contexts. The book not only reflects his evolution as an artist, but also delves into the experiences, journeys, and reflections that have shaped his practice — revealing the deep relationship between the visual and the social.
This volume stands as a testament to Daniel Muñoz’s ability to create meaningful dialogues between image and place, consolidating his role as a key figure in the contemporary public art scene.
