The first one-man show to be held in an institutional art centre since the year 2003. Many of the sculptures materially specify some of those possibilities in a series of gestures in the body of the building, in the form of in situ documentation exercises.
June Crespo understands sculpture as an exercise that enables her to bring together seemingly opposed qualities. Her works partake equally of the petrean and the perishable, the mechanised and the manual, the abject and the sensuous. The convergence between materials and motifs creates a vocabulary that seems interpretable as a contradiction.
In his work, Xabier Salaberria explores the forms in which certain structures behave in specific spaces, perverting their apparent neutrality and questioning the categories in which they are conventionally inscribed.
Visitas posicionadas 2023
El departamento de educación del Museo CA2M desarrolla una línea de trabajo encaminada a desarrollar visitas temáticas en las que invitar a artistas y creadores a acercar las exposiciones a los espectadores a través de sus prácticas.
INTERSPECIES. RELATIONS BETWEEN SPECIES IN CONTEMPORARY FILM
This film series - understood as a popular manifestation of contemporary anxieties - seeks to explore the relationship between species and the relationship of human beings with their environment from different perspectives; some more catastrophic and others more friendly and hopeful, in tune with Donna J. Haraway's vision.
AN AMATEUR CHOIR 2023
An Amateur Choir is a creative project that welcomes any kind of voice which wishes to participate. Besides our own experimental sessions every second Thursday, we also have sessions with artists who work with the voice and listening.
BAILE IMPAR
Baile impar es un taller donde practicar en trío bailes clásicos de pareja. Está dirigido a todo tipo de cuerpos que hayan tenido a su vez todo tipo de experiencias en pistas, verbenas y salones.
Un museo de arte contemporáneo tiene una naturaleza cambiante, fluida y transformadora, como corresponde a una institución dedicada al arte por venir. Además, al Museo CA2M le caracteriza un patrimonio singular de públicos habituados a utilizar sin impedimento los espacios liminales sembrados por todo el museo. Se propuso crear un nuevo punto de recepción en 2021. En este caso, el estudio de arquitectura BURR ha respondido al encargo urgente con un volumen que funciona como un “santo de vestir”.
There is a signature feature to Hannah Collins’s photos of urban horizons: the sky is always tinted with a strange colour. Like the images over the credits of an imaginary film, this photo captures the feeling that a particular place—whether through premeditated cultural references or a subjective impression—produced in the artist at a certain point in time.
Fantasy, high heels, pink, interlude, prosthesis, accessibility, the norm perverting the norm: this is the world of Costa Badía (Madrid, 1981) which will take over the ground floor of Museo CA2M from 26 January.
VISITAS LOS MIÉRCOLES POR LA TARDE
Las visitas se centrarán en un número limitado de obras para dar lugar a una reflexión abierta más profunda, huyendo así del recorrido epidérmico de las exposiciones y de la idea de discurso único.
Matorral, campo inculto: aprender creciendo a la virulé
La nueva edición de la Universidad Popular está dedicada a la comunicación con formas de vida no humanas, los saberes que estas conexiones nos ofrecen y sus posibilidades en la producción sensible.
LET’S GET SOAKED BY A WAVE, AAHH! 2023
This year the project will continue experimenting with the mysterious; an activity inviting us to let ourselves be carried along and discover the space of the museum, paying particular attention to minimum detail, to little things and what normally goes unnoticed.
COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY LABORATORY 2023
Since its inception, the Roof Terrace Garden was conceived as a space with a mission to go much further than a simple organic agricultural school, and with the goal to build a community. Today that challenge is more pressing than ever, and for this reason we need to open up our horizons and underscore the need for a direct practice of sustainability in cities, reinforcing concepts like grow-your-own, self-sufficiency, DIY and kilometre-0 production, incentivizing a culture of proximity.
In 2014, three women who lived in Móstoles began to meet regularly at the CA2M cafeteria to chat while crocheting together. As they were gradually joined by more and more people, the museum ended up offering them more space, and every Wednesday from 11.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m. they were provided with a large table that would soon be complemented by a textile work from the museum’s permanent collection by artist Teresa Lanceta.
