On the occasion of the exhibition No Heroics, please, an encounter will take place  between the curator of the exhibition, Tania Pardo, and the artists involved at the exhibition: Iván Argote, Sara Ramo and Teresa Solar Abboud.

History With No Past is concerned about images and counter-representations of the History (and) of Art in relation to the national/colonial discourse of Spain and Latin America.

MAPEAR Madrid is a work group created in response to a shared desire to seek out and identify the artistic structures and various agents involved in the cultural sector of the region of Madrid. Following an initial period of research and investigation, an announcement will be made, and sessions open to the public will be offered on the first Tuesday of each month until July.

During  three consecutive afternoons on June, 17, 18 and 19, three simultaneus workshops  will take place at CA2M by: Ayreen Anastas & Rene Gabri, Asier Mendizábal and Luis Jacob. The workshops, independent, will be personally addressed by each of the artists. These artists have worked in experimental formats of knowledge production, with teaching experience; they have also participated in many collective works.

CA2M, as an observer entity involved in the promotion of the research and development project I+D VISUALIDADES CRITICAS: REESCRITURA DE LAS NARRATIVAS A TRAVES DE LAS IMÁGENES  (HAR2013-43016-P, Ministry for the Economy), undertakes this collaboration with Re-Visiones with a view to helping to promote and support the research conducted in this field.

Chantal Pontbriand is art critic and curator. Her work is based on the exploration of questions of globalization and artistic heterogeneity. Since 1970, she has curated numerous international contemporary art events: exhibitions, international festivals and international conferences, mainly in photography, video, performance, dance and multimedia installation.

The purpose of this seminar is to compare some of the studies of the practice and theory of performance conducted in Spain in recent years form a dialogue-based and inclusive perspective. The event is aimed at educators, researchers and students working in the field of art history, aesthetics and theatre studies, as well as artists and professionals who work in the contemporary art context.

This education cycle aspires to being a meeting point for the southern area of Madrid, revolving around two main objectives: on the one hand, to lay the foundations for a correct diagnosis of the present moment in time and its economic, social and political implications; and on the other, to raise awareness and collectively debate various experiences centered on the construction of alternatives to set in motion a process of transition to a post-capitalist world.
