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.

Between January and June 2021, Marta Echaves carried out extensive research into mourning, its representations, politics and rituals. She was accompanied by the choreographer Esther Rodriguez Barbero, the artist Julia Montilla and the researcher Maria Rosón. From that series of meetings and conversations emerge certain questions and approaches which have shaped the programme of public activities That Blue Buzzing Sound.

This autumn's cinema series is a celebration of the audio-visual media that is part of the Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo Museum’s public heritage. Our collections feature many pieces of video art encompassing the last decades of audio-visual history, both nationally and internationally.

CA2M develops an important line of training activities in contemporary art and thought framed within the tradition of popular universities, especially aimed at young and adult audiences.

In these courses, some of the fundamental approaches to understanding and interpreting contemporary art will be addressed clearly and directly.

In this temporal encounter we will engage with the materialities of works, of light, of screens, through bodies and the museum itself.
