El CA2M Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo expone cápsulas de su colección, obras de la colección instaladas de forma casi permanente en espacios de tránsito del museo. Cada pieza se acompaña con un vídeo que permite ponerlas en contexto en voz de sus responsables y de los propios artistas que las han realizado.
Made by Jacobo Castellano between 2004 and 2005, Casa is one of the artist’s first sculptural pieces. Based on his grandparent’s now abandoned house in a village in Jaen
Colección XIII. Hacia un nuevo museo de arte contemporáneo es una exposición que se plantea como un ensayo de laboratorio y una forma de investigar sobre los dispositivos de exposición que se han utilizado en algunos de los museos públicos vinculados al arte contemporáneo que ha habido en Madrid.
Este proyecto se interroga acerca de la condición de la obra de arte y sus posibilidades. Sobre aquello que la obra hubiera podido ser o decir y lo que finalmente dijo o fue.
A veces decorado es un recorrido a través de algunos de los proyectos más recientes de Patricia Esquivias (Caracas, 1979). En ellos cuestiona el concepto de autoría artística, la historia, la modernidad y la arquitectura como herramientas para la construcción colectiva.
Applying the term ‘Boundary Objects’, the exhibition focused on the potential of objects to transcend established contexts and meanings: as opponents of their own history, the objects become mediators for larger contexts of a shared commemoration of the violence of unethical collecting, which filled the European museums of the 19th and early 20th century, and for the necessity of new creations of transcultural narrations.
Fernando Sánchez Castillo’s work casts a critical gaze over history, both ancient and recent, while at once examining art’s role in depicting and shaping our view of it. As part of this quest, the exhibition recreates the living room in the artist’s home: a place dotted with dozens of preliminary forms for sculptures, impromptu or meditated reflections, that have been with him throughout his life and which could direct our gaze towards some of his future projects. The same room also includes some new output.
Fernando Sánchez Castillo’s work casts a critical gaze over history, both ancient and recent, while at once examining art’s role in depicting and shaping our view of it. The exhibition title, Más allá or Beyond in English, suggests manifold readings.
Since opening in 2008, CA2M has lent great emphasis to its collection with the purpose of conserving, studying and exhibiting it better and to bring it closer to the general public through an outreach programme specifically designed around it. To this end, CA2M regularly rotates its holdings in a series of exhibitions conceived to fashion new meanings, to forge new bonds and connections between the artworks and to envisage new ways of interpreting our surrounding world.
