Imagining the analysis of the social and political systems of our day through the figures of clowns, harlequins and hands does not seem at all strange in these times. It is true that the division between individual and persona has never been so relevant.
Lucía C. Pino works primarily with image and sculpture. For the past decade, the artist’s practice has largely been concerned with questioning the material and ontological inertias rooted in design, architecture and sculpture, such as attachment, solidity or durability.
Turbid Waters is Inês Zenha's first institutional solo exhibition in Spain, a project specially curated for the first floor of the CA2M Museum.
This exhibition—the first monograph dedicated to Dorothy Iannone at a Spanish institution, curated by Tania Pardo—takes its title from the spirit of perseverance and continuity with which the artist approached life and art, and also from her passionate and generous approach to creation. The expression “over and over again” embodies Iannone’s lifelong conception of her work as the draft of a total work. The exhibition itinerary is organised around six thematic sections that invite viewers to explore her creative universe.
Ester Partegàs’s exhibition, conceived jointly for the Museo CA2M of the Autonomous Community of Madrid and Es Baluard Museu d’Art Contemporani in Palma de Mallorca, represents a broad survey of her work over the last three decades.
This project is designed to be a dialogue between three collections that operate within different territorial frameworks of the South — from Móstoles (Madrid), the Museo Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo; from Panamá, the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Panamá; and from Buenos Aires, Argentina, the home of BIENALSUR — as a way to spark different synergies through such an alliance of institutions.
It presents a succinct overview of his artistic production, recovering different works that have marked his work in some way since the early 2000s. At the same time, coexisting with this journey is a group of new works that, based on a highly personal vision of sculptural language, are displayed through spatially specific installations, newly produced pieces, performative actions and series that are added to some of those already produced in recent years.
This exhibition is the result of a selection of works, objects and images as well as newly produced interventions. Many of the pieces in the exhibition are part of the CA2M Museum's collection, although there are also loans from other public and private collections in the country as well as from the selected artists themselves.
First institutional monographic exhibition dedicated to Jorge Satorre in Spain. His artistic practice addresses the unmapped and ‘minor’ history, either by attending to the intangible heritage of customs and the transmission of stories, or by engaging in more formal approaches through the production methods of traditional manufacturing trades, as well as their places, stories and workers.
The Museo CA2M is presenting the first solo show by the artist Santiago Sierra in a Madrid institution. This exhibition consists of a compilation and analysis of one of the most common resources in the practice of Santiago Sierra (Madrid, Spain, 1966) throughout his entire artistic career: pictures of people facing the wall, like inverse ‘portraits’ in which the subject’s identity is negated or dissolved in anomie.
