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.

Auto. Dream and Matter analyses the presence of the car in contemporary art. Featuring over 100 works by 60 artists from both Spain and abroad, the exhibition explores the relationship between car culture and artistic creation in recent decades.

The exhibition Light Years. Cristina Lucas comprises videos, photographs, drawings and installations that serve as performative acts in which the artist herself, other characters, the spectator and even animals directly confront the symbols, myths and metaphors of defining moments in the western patriarchal domination.

The exhibition Sonic Youth etc.:. : Sensational Fix focuses on the multidisciplinary activities of the groundbreaking experimental guitar band Sonic Youth since its formation in 1981. The exhibition features the band’s collaborations with visual artists, filmmakers, designers and musicians, as well as a choice of other works selected by the band.

Before Everything is an attempt to delve into current artistic production from Spain. The exhibition, in which 56 artists will participate, does not set out to offer a totalizing vision of the here and now of Spanish art, but rather to confer an unprecedented level of visibility to productive modalities that have developed in specific locations in Spain.

This exhibition features a selection of works belonging to the collection owned by the CA2M Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo. A large proportion of them are recent acquisitions and are on display for the first time. Many are photographs, but videos, drawings and other media are also included.

The Centro de Arte 2 de Mayo presents two installations by the artists David Bestué and Marc Vives. The first one, entitled Acciones en el universo, 2007, presents us with a type of tunnel of horror or experimental corridor and is divided into 11 separate spaces. The second installation, entitled La Confirmación, follows a character through different stages of his life that lead him to re-examine some of the certainties he has hitherto regarded as irrevocable.
