No Heroics, Please is the title of a posthumous compilation of short stories written by the American novelist and poet Raymond Carver during his youth. The exhibition, does credit to the book, focus on the idea of the demystification of the creative act, considering that the proper creation itself is a heroic and claiming act, in this case, the importance of the daily happenings considered as daily militancy.
La exposición constó de cuatro videoinstalaciones que, al igual que toda la obra de Aernout Mik, tienen puntos de contacto con el cine, la performance, la escultura y la arquitectura. La dimensión performática de la exposición en el CA2M quedó además reforzada por una acción en la que grupos de personas llevaron a cabo una sutil interacción con las obras y el propio espacio expositivo.

A desire to delve deeper into the realm of queerness following our experiences in the queer workshop with teenagers and with teachers and the need to share them has led us to create a changing space where we can continue exploring, thinking and losing ourselves together.
A few years ago we started a collaboration project with teachers from the Enterarte group. This year we will continue this collaboration. We believe that it is critical to underscore the importance of passion and the work of this group of teachers and to continue thinking about the relationships between the museum and the school, opening up processes of research into artistic languages.
POSITIONED VISITS 2020
At the beginning of 2020 we will be opening the exhibition Absurd Humour: A Constellation of Folly in Spain and, similarly to other occasions, we have invited an artist to prepare what we call a Positioned Visit. This time Alba Rihe has created an audio-guide that will take us on a trip through the exhibition.
ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE 2020
Artistas en residencia is a programme organised jointly by La Casa Encendida, CA2M Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo and, from 2020, MACBA, whose goal is to support creation and experimentation focused on performative work with the body.
