Previous Activities

This course is aimed at anyone who has ever stood in front of a work of art and asked themselves precisely that: ‘But… is this art?’. It is a space designed to encourage people to engage with art through curiosity, dialogue and shared experience.

Este laboratorio es un espacio de encuentro, investigación y experimentación en torno a las prácticas artísticas colectivas. Un espacio en el que pensares y haceres se movilicen entre colectivos artísticos, personas vinculadas a la investigación, asociaciones y públicos. Pretende, así, articular relaciones entre agentes culturales, artísticos, sociales y comunitarios.

We are kicking off the academic year with the Performance and Education Workshop, a space for training, exchange and research aimed at teachers, artists, cultural mediators and cultural workers, as well as anyone interested in the relationships between education, culture, the local area and artistic practice.

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 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.

Artists in Residence is a programme developed by Museo Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo and La Casa Encendida to support artistic creation and research centred on the body and performance.

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.

After a first year of sharing, experimenting and learning—a year of discovering how difficult but how rewarding it is to create a genuinely collective space—the group embarks on this new phase with a clear aim: to create their own podcast.

The Place of Unique Creatures will be a four-day summer workshop running from 30 June to 3 July for children aged 6 to 12 who would like to join us in imagining and creating a place of their own.
