This activity is continuing online among all participants.

We are going to build a fort in the middle of the hall in the Children’s Home in Móstoles. For the floor we will use mattresses, for the ceiling we will hang sheets with clothes pegs and we will build walls with piles of pillows so that nobody can see what we are doing inside.

Once a month, different artists will be invited inside this space to that they can share their practices with us. The programme for The Fort will include dance, sound and projections and it will have its own set of rules: the only things allowed inside are what we like and what we don’t like have to be left outside.

We invite you to bid farewell to 2019 with this exciting audiovisual event based on sound improvisation and projected images. Everything is brought together in an unreal Dada-like retrofuturist atmosphere combined with live experimentation by the multi-instrumentalist Severine Beata and the visual artist Beatriz Sánchez.

Together with Severine and Beatriz we will transform aluminium foil into thunder, pinecones into fire and tin cans into beats. Bring with you whatever you can find at home that we can use collectively to create a soundscape to accompany a series of visual games that arise from all kinds of gadgets: photos, objects, dolls, textures, engines...

Severine Beata is a multi-instrumentalist who experiments with the western concert flute, saxophone, synthesizer, drum machines, vocals... She is currently based in Andalusia, where she combines her work as a teacher with concerts and sound research.

Beatriz Sánchez is a drawing artist, performer, audiovisual creator and digital activist who works on many different levels, analysing the impact that heteronormative discourses and the information society have on us.

Moderated by Eva Garrido and Marta van Tartwijk

We avoid touching, fluids and drops of saliva. We cover our mouth, our nose and hands. Our reading group over the last few years has explored the oddities of the body and queer bodies. Now that reality is like science fiction, we will turn our attention to the aliens, vampires and bearded women which we have met along the way.

Last year, Birds Fuck in the Air endeavoured to address and think about the different textures of desire and its strange manifestations. Given the unforeseen imposition of the prohibition of touching, a distance was established that nonetheless could perhaps increase the idea of eroticism. And how lovers start to write to each other. We write a lot. Even distances become elastic and we can feel something touching us, that words and tongues walk all over us.

The task of writing, like desire, is perhaps always an unfinished task. One writes to continue writing. The stroller, by definition, is not going anywhere in particular, but is driven by the mere desire to walk. Going nowhere in order to maybe eventually arrive somewhere.

Among our desires as a group, this year we wish to recover one, to read a single book. Perhaps it is the right moment to think together about distances and the potential of strolling. This motor action of putting one step forward and then the other, to take our bodies to different places, opens up a horizon of possibilities and readings to discover the world through the body and the body through the world.

There is a desert
immense
at the back of our
retinas
we see nothing
nothing
unless it is
his disguise
the distant confused whisper
in an unknown language

It has happened to us all. That feeling, though short-lived, is very beautiful: you are with your friends and you play a song that you love, you read an excerpt from one of your favourite books, or you want to share a photograph that has meant something to you for many years. You feel that desire to share the delight of an obsession, to share its magnetism.

This project arose from exploring an obsession that morphed over time and that many people throughout history have experienced. We are referring to invisibility. Where does it come from? How can we become invisible, manage to vanish – dissolve – to not be seen or detected?

This will be the starting point from which, together, we will explore different notions that, precisely, do not fit purely within the physical realm. Voice, a whisper, breath. Their rhythms. Magic and escapism. Leaping into the unknown. Camouflaging ourselves in the night. Accepting the risk of listening to our intuitions. Other ways of being close, although these – apparently – are invisible.

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, with what could be considered a soundtrack which is a kind of pastiche, a chimera of voices, a word whispered in your ear that caresses the eardrum and which we hope will make us break out in hysterical laughter in the exhibition hall.

The audio-guides are available free of charge at the museum reception desk during the course of the exhibition. You can also listen the audio on Soundcloud or download in your devices here:

A few years ago we started a collaboration project with teachers from the Enterarte group. What started out as a teacher training course here at the museum has grown into a project on education between equals in which knowledge flows from the two parts: the educators at the museum and the school teachers. This is true to the extent that we not only share visits to exhibitions (inside and outside the museum) and artist workshops with Azucena Vieites, the Colektivof collective, Bárbara Fluxá, Fernando Sánchez Castillo and Cabello/Carceller; but also, at the same time, Enterarte adds to the activities at CA2M and brings the everyday reality and experience of schools in order to help us grow as an education department.

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.

Now that any future seems unthinkable, it is exciting to think about a possible future that will allow us to dance again. It is exciting to remember that we are alive, situating the body and experience at the very centre of life and artistic learning. Roland Barthes said that “we work with the act of apparition, the world that manifests itself through us and since we don't understand, we dance”. And so it is a question of dancing to understand the world and its potential. Dancing so that the interruption brought about by the current health crisis does not mean the end but a means through which we can dance once again. The workshop proposes a space in which we can rehearse the future(s) while dancing through different bodily practices, opening up a field of experimentation around the body (its uses, materialities and implications) and associating the experience with educational and learning spaces both inside and outside the classroom.

Paz Rojo is a choreographer, dancer and researcher with a PhD in performative practices specializing in choreography from the Stockholm University of the Arts (Stockholm, Sweden) with an artistic research dissertation called The decline of choreography and its movement: a body's (path)way. In 2019 she published the book To Dance in the Age of No-Future (Circadian), Berlin. More information here.

Every summer we organize a performance workshop for teachers, educators and artists interested in education. It involves a week-long work with the body in which we create bonds of collaboration and think about educational processes and performativity within education. In previous years these workshops have been led by Los Torreznos, Tania Bruguera, Pere Faura, Itziar Okariz, Norberto Llopis, Nilo Gallego, Dora García, Aimar Pérez Galí, Luz Broto, Aitana Cordero and Jiří Kovanda.

This year we wish to see and to make film collectively and, with this purpose in mind, we have invited Chus Domínguez to design a workshop. Focused mainly on practice, it will be a space aimed at teachers and educators who want to use audiovisuals to question their workspace and to find new forms of images and sounds in the classroom. To listen and look again like never before.

Chus Domínguez is an audiovisual creator specialized in documentary film. Together with the Department of Education and Cultural Action at MUSAC (Museum of Contemporary Art of Castile and Leon), he has set up LAAV (Laboratory of Experimental Audiovisual Anthropology) to develop a range of collaborative research-creative projects. He is also a member of the experimental action group Orquestina de Pigmeos and is a lecturer in the Documentary Film degree course at ECAM film school.

Aimed at teachers and other people interested in education.

An amateur choir is a creative project in which all types of voices are welcome. The choir doesn’t just sing songs but aspires to embrace all the sounds in the world. That’s why it sings through silence, mumbling and stuttering and with sounds that sometimes involuntarily escape the body like laughter and screams..
 

During confinement we managed to counter our fears by singing to and with each other over the phone. We find melodies in the washing machine, stories through the window and a new language of gargling and birdsong. Now we are really looking forward to seeing each other in person once again and finally going together to Zarzalejo to sing with the choir of the artist Amalia Fernández.
