BUT... IS THIS ART? AUTUMN 2026

FROM OCTOBER TO DECEMBER

TOUR AND WORKSHOP FOR SECONDARY AND UPPER SECONDARY SCHOOL GROUPS

This tour and workshop invites groups to explore the exhibition through observation, conversation and collective experimentation. We will look closely at the works, asking ourselves not only what they tell us, but also what lies beyond what they appear to be saying. We will explore drawing as gesture and thought in motion, as writing, imprint, play and a possibility for encounter.

FROM OCTOBER TO DECEMBER

FLORILEGIUM. THE MOST MARVELLOUS DITCH AND ROADSIDE FLOWERS.

Inspired by wild gardens and flowers that grow where no one expects them, this workshop invites families to create, imagine and experiment together. Session by session, we will create a world of our own where oddities, myths and the freedom to grow in our own way all have a place.

TERRACE GARDEN

Every Friday morning, a group of people gather at the museum under a simple pretext: to tend a vegetable patch. But, as with the best pretexts, it goes far beyond just the plants.

THE INTRUSION. OTHER WAYS OF TAKING OVER SPACE

During these workshop-style visits, children will discover the exhibitions as an open space in which to explore, experiment, interact and formulate questions through artistic activities. The activity offers an active, sensitive and participatory approach to contemporary art. It is an opportunity for the pupils to take centre stage in the experience.

laboratorio abundancias
Workshop
EVERY OTHER FRIDAY

ABUNDANCE LAB

What does a garden that emerges from an abandoned picnic smell of? How do you make compost and compost yourself? What sun-based systems invite us to imagine desirable futures? The Abundance Lab is a meeting place, a starting point: we can decide what we want to be from now on, and it’s best to do it together.

LA FRESQUERA 2026

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.

WHAT THE EYE DOESN'T REVEAL

These tours of the Ester Partegàs, Dorothy Iannone and Antonio Ballester Moreno exhibitions don’t seek categorical answers but open up a space where the experiences of visitors, and of groups that now form part of the museum, are put into play and create networks. We want to reflect together on it what means to tour an exhibition using conversation, listening and the difference of gazes.

La réplica infiel
Exposición

La réplica infiel se interroga sobre la compleja relación que el arte establece con su materialidad, planteándose de qué manera se encarna el pensamiento en la forma, en el objeto, en la acción o en el cuerpo, resistiendo tanto a la promesa implícita en la idea, como a las tensiones e incertidumbres generadas por su inserción en las instituciones, los rituales de la cultura y los órdenes de lo real y lo posible.

PUNK. Sus rastros en el arte contemporáneo
Exposición

Con alrededor de sesenta artistas de reconocida trayectoria internacional, David G. Torres, comisario de la exposición "PUNK. Sus rastros en el arte contemporáneo", plantea una visión transversal del punk como catalizador de una serie de estéticas, políticas y actitudes culturales, que desde sus inicios hasta hoy han marcado un posicionamiento dentro del arte contemporáneo. Una corriente anímica ligada a un movimiento musical muy característico que se dilata en diferentes actitudes dentro de la acción artística y su planteamiento conceptual.

PER/FORM_Cómo hacer las cosas con [sin]palabras
Exposición

La exposición "PER/FORM. Cómo hacer cosas con (sin) palabras" está comisariada por Chantal Pontbriand, figura fundamental para entender el desarrollo de la performance, desde sus inicios hasta la actualidad. En su labor como crítica y editora de la revista Parachute, Pontbriand, ha liderado la renovación en el discurso de la crítica de arte sobre las nuevas disciplinas que nacen en los años sesenta, tales como la performance, la instalación y los nuevos medios artísticos. Esta exposición es, en consecuencia, una actividad viva y en permanente desarrollo, donde las instalaciones, fotografías, películas, documentos, performances en directo, charlas y coloquios habitan el espacio del CA2M, proponiendo con todo ello una visión más amplia del tradicional concepto de exposición.

Sin motivo aparente
Exposición

La exposición colectiva Sin motivo aparente es una muestra que nos aproxima a la obra de arte contemplada al margen de componentes externos. Partiendo de las palabras del artista Lawrence Weiner «Out of the Blue», la exposición gravita en torno a la posibilidad de que las obras de arte no tengan que ceñirse a una trama discursiva concreta. Una invitación al espectador a construir una reflexión propia a partir de las micro historias en las que nos adentra la obra, un territorio reservado para las emociones.

Aernout mik
Exposición

Aernout Mik es uno de los artistas holandeses más reputados internacionalmente. Su obra ha sido objeto de exposiciones individuales en importantes instituciones de todo el mundo, como el MoMA de Nueva York o el Jeu de Paume de París y ha participado en las grandes citas de Arte como las bienales de Venecia, Sao Paolo y Melbourne. A través de sus piezas en vídeo cuidadosamente instaladas, que llegan a incorporar físicamente al propio espectador, Aernout Mik desmenuza algunos de los conflictos presentes en nuestra sociedad.
