Performative Walkthroughs
After months without being able to be physically present in the museum, we are now returning to our performative walkthroughs in order to recover a shared closeness in our exhibitions. We will have to relearn how to move simultaneously through the exhibition halls, to keep our distance while remaining close, to invent new ways of looking after each other, of listening to one another and to share. To this end, the walkthroughs will be limited to a maximum of 10 people.

First individual exhibition in Spain of Discoteca Flaming Star, an interdisciplinary group of artists. With Cristina Gómez Barrio and Wolfgang Mayer as its founders and leading members, the group can either expand or shrink, becoming a type of meeting place that shifts and changes according to the way the performances develop.
The show at the CA2M includes an early series of videos by Guy Ben-Ner recorded between 2002 and 2005, all with the common theme of the paternal figure within the family and all of which extrapolate the situation to any other figure that tries to conform to a group.
