a thicket took root firmly
a paving stone
a juicy mango
The wild oats
a river, many rivers
so many dreams
two bundles of sage, a few lilies, daisies and sunflowers
 

This reading group draws on the time shared at this year’s Open University, dedicated to communication with non-human life forms, the knowledge that these connections offer us and their possibilities in sensible production. Based on everything that we have learnt in whatever way we could, we leave the past aside (in the hope that other individuals will join in) in order to delve into some of the readings that accompanied that programme and their connections with others.

Therefore, we’ll be exploring texts by, among many others, Gloria Anzaldúa, Reinaldo Arenas, Genesis Beyer P-Obridge and Cristina Rivera Garza with the intention, as the last author recommends: “... to live in a continuous state of alertness as regards the bonds created between humans and other humans, and the bonds between human beings and animal beings, and plant beings, and mineral beings. To inhabit that progression, admittedly. We are not dealing with an abstract or even a sacred connection, but a material interrelationship...”

The thicket reading group is an idea from – and guided by – Adriana Reyes and Manuela Pedrón Nicolau.
The requirement for participation is to have read the texts before each session.

This space within the library came about naturally as a response to our efforts to provide room for, to lend visibility to and to register bibliographic references that are proposed as new routes for reading and expanding the library’s catalogue and to tie in with the art centre’s activities and exhibitions. The publication, the paper and the document all serve us as a form of generating a stable presence in the processes that take place in the museum within a limited time span.

This four-month period we will be focusing on the activity The Triangle. An Amateur Choir. The library will be an extension of the research being carried out by the musicians, vibrations and noise we have heard throughout the course of the last year and which will be prolonged during this coming year. The selection hopes to facilitate a polyhedral approach to the elusive part of our bodies which is the voice.

In addition, another itinerary will be prepared to tie in with the exhibition Wish to Seem Night

In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of independent magazines published in a physical format, produced low-cost and distributed in limited editions. From the fanzine to the artist book, these publications are all spaces in which to promote and reflect on current-day cultural production.

As part of our program of library activities, CA2M will open a space for research and reflection revolving around independent editorial projects. An initiative that aims to create an archive of editions that are difficult to classify with a view to spreading and preserving this type of publication.

From the month of May, a permanent enquiries space will be set up to display fifteen new independent publications per month and provide a forum for encounters and presentations.
