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.
This first graphic intervention by Maria Medem opens a space for reflection on illustration at the CA2M Museum. Maria Medem's imaginary universe, reflected in different non-exhibition areas of the Museum, generates a sensorial and experimental atmosphere where the limits between the real, the strange and the ambiguous are blurred and materialized in different forms.
Altered listenings and porous practices
Based on the different exhibitions, activities, workshops and collection of the museum, we propose different encounters and different points of view on contemporary artistic practices and their capacity for influence and social transformation.
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.
COOL DOWN AT THE CA2M MUSEUM
This summer, the museum is turning into a space designed to combat the heat just like it’s always been done: where it’s cool, with no hurry and in good company. Inspired by those perennial places where idleness is fine, this project is turning the museum into a summer refuge where you can simply exist.
Open from Tuesday to Sunday 11:00 to 21:00 h. Closed on Mondays and on 24th, 25th and 31th December and 1th and 6th January .
A collection encompasses the present continuous, past perfect and future perfect. The Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo houses the Contemporary Art Collection of the Autonomous Community of Madrid, now called the CA2M Collection, and the ARCO Foundation Collection.
