Past events

In late 2015, the Spanish choreographer and performer Aimar Pérez Galí began to study the impact of the AIDS epidemic on the dance community in Spain and Latin America. The resulting work, which makes use of the practice of ‘contact improvisation’, was built as a conversation with the ghosts of those who are no longer with us. This year, in which we are in the midst of a new pandemic, marks 40 years since HIV’s first emergence; once again, touch has become forbidden. This fact brings a fresh relevance to this project, which first took shape at a performance workshop for teachers at CA2M three years ago.

The Autoplacer festival, the self-publishing music event held every year at CA2M since 2010, is back again this year on Saturday 27 November. This year the festival will focus on defending the creative and relational potential of the underground Spanish scene and its discourses in a series of concerts by independent groups and soloists.

As part of the exhibition Myriad Reflector, which will be activated through a programme of nocturnal flashes of different rhythms and intensities, the artist Matt Copson will perform a performance entitled Obituary. ​

Imagine that there are 140 strangers around you, all ready and willing to satisfy your needs, desires and whims. What would you ask for?

As part of the "Time Bank Live" artistic action, we are carrying out a workshop open to the general public in which we will be examining the concept of interdependence, exploring the simple yet difficult art of wishing, requesting, giving and gifting. People taking part in the workshop will also be included in a performance on 23 June.

Autoplacer, the music and self-publishing festival held at CA2M for the last thirteen years, is back again in 2022, on Saturday 24 September. Like previous years, the Autoplacer/Sindicalistas collective will bring to Móstoles a selection of groups from the underground Spanish scene in an event which has been defending the inclusion of contemporary forms of music in institutions for over a decade, lending visibility to new sounds and their truly independent processes of publishing, production and diffusion.

The CA2M Museum Cuttings Exchange will take place in its third edition on the afternoon of Tuesday, March 28. It is a time to share knowledge, bring cuttings and barter seedlings to make our homes greener and less boring.

Performance by Jon Mikel Euba in which, for one hour, the artist will read the Conditions for an imposition while the audience listens lying on, between or inside the different devices that make up his exhibition at the Museo Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo, which will allow them to place themselves at different levels on the floor.

En esta sesión abierta de “Baile impar” queremos sacarte a bailar, arréglate de forma impar y bailemos, bailemos pegados, despacito, como una palmera, hasta que se seque el malecón y enamórate bailando como si fuera ésta la última vez.

The fourteenth edition of the Autoplacer Festival arrives on Saturday 23 September at the CA2M Museum from 12 to 9 p.m., with several performances on the terrace and in the SUI. Autoplacer 2023 will also feature the presence of various guest projects related to self-publishing, design, illustration and comics in the entrance hall, accompanied by the music of several festival collaborators on the turntables.
