MIKI LEAL. LA CHAQUETA

Carmen Pages
CARMEN PAGÉS. LAS DOS ESPAÑAS. EL DICTADOR

Part of a group of figurative women painters like Esther Boix and Isabel Villar, Carmen Pagés’s work reflects openly on social injustices and how power is wielded over the least fortunate in today’s societies. 

2024 ARCO AWARD

The ARCO Community of Madrid Award for Young Artists was created in 2004 to recognise the best work of art (including painting, drawing, comic, engraving, sculpture, mixed media, photography, installation and any other medium of artistic expression, without any limitations on either the theme or the technique) made by artists no older than 40, whose sale price does not exceed €35,000, and which has been exhibited in the corresponding edition of the ARCO Fair. The Community of Madrid acquires the award-winning work, which becomes part of CA2M’s Contemporary Art Collection.

Angela de la Cruz
ÁNGELA DE LA CRUZ. FONDOS (LIGHT YELLOW)

Many of Ángela de la Cruz’s paintings are presented as extended bodies with clear physicality as she twists the canvases, scratches the fabric or manipulates the supports. This makes each of her works a container of stories where paint takes on a physical and spatial presence.

Emily Jacir
EMILY JACIR. LINZ DIARY

Linz Diary, by the artist Emily Jacir, is a series of colour photographs taken in 2003 to capture the artist’s action which consisted of walking around a fountain in Linz Square, in Austria.

Eva Fabregas
EVA FÀBREGAS. GROWTHS

Eva Fàbregas envisions interaction with art through sensorial experience. Her sculptures, made of soft, ethereal materials like fabric and air, often include sound and beckon us to draw closer through the senses, to discover them through touch, generating an intimacy in which affect can flow.

Ixone Sádaba
IXONE SÁDABA. MASA INFORMADA #1- #9

Ixone Sádaba questions the meaning of images and what photography can do now that it has lost its status as an instrument to document reality. Her artistic practice is inspired by Foucault’s thesis about truth as a historical construct and by the distinction between objects and things that Heidegger proposed, which states that an object turns into a thing when it can no longer be used for the purpose it is customarily given.

On the occasion of International Museum Day, the CA2M opens on Monday 18th of May, and invites you to get to know the storage areas of the Center with the Museum's Conservation team. The CA2M Collection consists of over 1600 works of art from all artistic disciplines, which are joined by over 300 works by 224 artists from the ARCO Foundation Collection, in deposit at the CA2M since last year. The sum total of both collections constitutes a key set of works in order to understand contemporary creation, since they collect the main trends in art from the second half of the 20th Century until today.

Lanceta
COLLECTION CAPSULE: TERESA LANCETA

Lanceta defends the importance of weaving techniques and advocates placing weaving on a par with painting and sculpture. She argues that the “peripheral position of fabrics is not just metaphorical, but a reality, because societies that still weave are also peripheral
