The Autonomous Community of Madrid’s CA2M Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo launches its new website

April 16, 2021.- The Autonomous Community of Madrid’s CA2M Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo launches its new website. At a time when we are reassessing our relationship with culture, the Museum continues to focus much of its efforts on strengthening its online presence.

Aware of the importance of providing quality information, it now presents a completely renewed website. This overhaul has seen the light of day after several months of work, featuring the participation of the entire Museum team.

Its improvements include the modernization of its design, the clarity and quality of the information offered, its navigation speed, the wealth of the digital content and the emphasis on user participation. Its colour corresponds to the CA2M’s new architecture, developed by Andrés Jaque, in a refurbishment that will also be completed this summer.

This new site maintains its image of transparency, while improving its structure in order to highlight significant aspects such as its temporary exhibitions, its collection, its line of publications and its educational activities, among other things.

Another aspect to highlight is its timetable, from which you may consult day by day the wide variety of activities offered by the centre, from creative workshops such as the amateur choir, the vegetable garden on the terrace, performance tours and the exhibitions.

To celebrate the launch of the new website and its new possibilities of offering content, our collection’s piece “Dear Old Ladies” by artist María Gimeno will be offered online exclusively and for a fixed period of time 

until May 17th.

The video shows this performative conference held at the Prado Museum. In it, María Gimeno includes the female artists omitted from the book History of Art by E. H. Gombrich, the established canon reference manual for the different generations of art history students around the world, which fails to include any female artists. Improving our online presence means facilitating access to our programmes and content. In the same way, this piece is a declaration of intent about the future of our institution: more open, more public and more inclusive.

We will also be paying homage to our region in the month of May with the El Chotistón campaign. The artist Clara Moreno Cela opens up the process of her research on Madrid's identity to the public through two workshops for families and adults.

During these two meetings we will explore our relationship with the city through music, performance and play in workshops that aim to bring people together in an enjoyable outdoor activity making the most of our terrace. This Chotistón will commemorate the festivities and festivals that are celebrated this time of year. A celebration that is also that of Móstoles, that of the CA2M, which gives us our name and which we want to join this spring, which is just beginning to stir..
