Exhibition

It presents a succinct overview of his artistic production, recovering different works that have marked his work in some way since the early 2000s. At the same time, coexisting with this journey is a group of new works that, based on a highly personal vision of sculptural language, are displayed through spatially specific installations, newly produced pieces, performative actions and series that are added to some of those already produced in recent years.

This exhibition is the result of a selection of works, objects and images as well as newly produced interventions. Many of the pieces in the exhibition are part of the CA2M Museum's collection, although there are also loans from other public and private collections in the country as well as from the selected artists themselves.

First institutional monographic exhibition dedicated to Jorge Satorre in Spain. His artistic practice addresses the unmapped and ‘minor’ history, either by attending to the intangible heritage of customs and the transmission of stories, or by engaging in more formal approaches through the production methods of traditional manufacturing trades, as well as their places, stories and workers.

The Museo CA2M is presenting the first solo show by the artist Santiago Sierra in a Madrid institution. This exhibition consists of a compilation and analysis of one of the most common resources in the practice of Santiago Sierra (Madrid, Spain, 1966) throughout his entire artistic career: pictures of people facing the wall, like inverse ‘portraits’ in which the subject’s identity is negated or dissolved in anomie.

Buscando guanábana ando yo is the first solo exhibition devoted to Sol Calero at an art centre in Madrid and brings together some of her oeuvre’s central themes and formats. These include the building of collective spaces, which make up a large portion of Calero’s output and draw on her interest in architecture and design.

The exhibition focuses on two large installations that encapsulate the research carried out by Teresa Solar Abboud over the last few years. Conceived specifically for the CA2M Museum, the exhibition is like a dialogue between the fictitious and the real, where different narratives in process propose new forms and plastic finishes, contrasting the effects of nature with industrial aesthetic finishes of smooth and shiny finishes.

This exhibition is based on accumulated malaises and ghosts that have haunted Ana Gallardo since well before she became the artist that she is. However, more than a narrative of overcoming or the culmination of a formal and existential process, the artworks that make up this journey spanning several decades of production brim with passion and non-conformism.

Attention to diverse bodies and desires has been a hallmark of the programming of the Museo Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo since its foundation fifteen years ago. The performance possibilities of bodies and the unprecedented social choreographies emerging from their communities are a core focus of the institution. Over time, this celebration of difference and celebration of minority voices has gradually permeated the collections.
