It was already super-late and there was still plenty of light. Right, right. There was plenty of light. We also talked about this because, of course, it was so far west and it was very rare, as if people who were already deep into the night were sending us photos of their darkness. But we remained in broad daylight. Right. But there was no sun. It was daytime. Right. Plus, the light was really fragmented. Right, right. Like haze in the background because there was no mist nearby. It was like a kind of warm mist. Of course. I mean, the time came when you couldn’t see the horizon. The horizon was erased. Right, right, like when you looked it seemed like the horizon line had disappeared. Like it had been erased with Photoshop. Of course. This idea that the sky merges with the sea. Right. But like just a part of it. Right. Of the horizon line. Not all of it. That’s right. And like a speck that was the sailboat, and we were going there, that was really strange, right? You could see a bit of light in part of the sea, but then there was nothing. Of course. It was a place of mirages. So then we looked and we all said that it’s not going to cross. Yes, yes, it’s going to cross. No, it’s impossible, it's going to wend, it's going to wend, because that was the edge, and beyond the sea falls away. Maybe that’s why the line couldn’t be seen, because we were already on the other side.

Last school year we worked on a project that involved the UFIL Pablo Neruda and the children’s residence of Móstoles. The goal was to create our own space in the residence’ garden that catered to the children’s wishes. Throughout the entire year, we partnered with the designer Curro Claret and the carpentry group at the UFIL to develop the prototype of a modular structure that the children could transform into whatever they want: a house, a stage, a platform for sleeping, a cave or even a swing.

In early summer, we completed the project with an opening party for the house. It was exciting to watch how the children made it their own as they explored the space. That has become a starting point, an excuse to take yet another step. We want to invite artists and creators to intervene in this space in order to resignify it as a place of work and research along with the children. This is only the beginning.

Soft House is a collaborative project with the children’s residence of Móstoles that aims to serve as an invitation to reconsider what a house means. It is a place to reflect on the concept of the nuclear family, to challenge it and suggest new ways of designing and intervening in our surroundings.

For some years now, the museum has worked closely with García Lorca school in Móstoles. Over this time, we have witnessed its teachers’ incredible commitment, who understand that educational practice is primarily a form of activism and a commitment to the surroundings and to the community near the school.

One clear example of this commitment is the school radio station, an initiative that involves the entire school. This radio station has not only allowed students to create their own content but has also become a mouthpiece for our museum and its programmes.

This academic year, we want to work with the school team to create a new project that inspires us and encourages us to think in the long term by establishing a shared language through which our two institutions can engage in dialogue and grow together.

Over these years, we have talked about the spaces around the school, their boundaries and their potential as new places of learning. Inspired by this vision, we have decided to develop an open classroom project using the school’s outdoor areas and vacant lots that connect it to the neighbourhood. It is a pedagogical approach based on self-building and play to create a space of encounter where students, teachers, families, and we ourselves can share, learn and live.

NIBBLES OF REALITY

‘If you’ve ever dreamed it, it’s real. If you’ve ever felt it, it’s real. If you’ve ever experienced it, was it real? Are the place you occupy in the world and that way you think no longer the same as before? Do you get lost in the onslaught of information today? Do you no longer know whether that voice in your head is stable? Take a nibble of reality before all that gets to you! Perhaps you’re wondering how you got here; I don’t know. I don’t even exist; I’m just a voice that comes to life in your head through words. But from there I can invite you to explore dissociation, the construction of the story and illusion, and that may even include a panoramic visit to the uncanny and other places yet to be deciphered. And no prior experience is needed! Liminal instructions to play in reality: reality twists. Reality expands. Reality blurs. Reality breaks. The reality we build. Now we’re where things continue (talking through the voice that reads in your head), a group (and perhaps, too, an unreachable place) made up of ex-under-twenties which is generated from restlessness and curiosity through the museum and its practices.’

Where Things Continue is a group made up of former participants in the youth programmes with an interest in culture, art and community work. The project aims to redefine the relationships with the museum by fostering its members’ self-management and getting them involved in building the programming targeted at young people.

We are Nails and Thumbtacks, a little group devoted to artistic experimentation through self-publishing and DIY, always creating through play. We aim to discover and generate multiple ways of materialising our ideas as a group. We explore different media like paper, video, sound, performance and even intangible things, playing with constant constructions and deconstructions.

If you’re between the ages of 13 and 21 and you’re interested in art, this is a space where you can freely experiment. You don’t need any prior knowledge, and you don’t need to be an extrovert; here we invent everything from scratch, together.

This year we’re focusing on transformation to explore what emerges from endings and new beginnings. We’ll invite guests who work in different disciplines like performance, textiles, image and film. We’ll also take trips and appropriate the museum for our creations.

Join us and discover the power of collective creation through play and artistic experimentation.

Raising our own flag on the museum’s façade for one minute. Inventing colour palettes that we’ll use to build the landscape of Móstoles precisely at thirty minutes past noon. Bringing our bodies together close, really, really close, until we become a huge rock. Doing meditation exercises on the building’s rooftop or imagining the sunset-tinged evening sky.

These are just a few of the experiences that the students who visited the museum had. During the school year, we offer activities designed for groups of secondary and baccalaureate students that revolve around the exhibitions and seek to generate meaningful experiences. Our project aims to forge a direct tie between contemporary artistic practices and students with the goal of revitalising and bringing new life to the museum’s spaces. To do so, we approach the exhibitions as spaces of creation and collective inquiry.

This time, we’ll work with the exhibitions of Santiago Sierra and Sol Calero. Exploring these two shows will enable us to connect with topics like identity, migration, power and exclusion. This experience seeks to not only expand students’ understanding of contemporary social and cultural issues but also generate spaces for critical thinking. It is an encounter designed with the desire to share knowledge, practices and experiences and to debate the content of the exhibitions with the students.

With this approach in mind, we have invited the artist Marta van Tartwijk to work with us to come up with and design strategies to activate the exhibition spaces.

Marta van Tartwijk (Barcelona, 1990) has a degree in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid and furthered her training at the École Superieur d’Art de Bretagne (France), the University of Barcelona and A*Desk. She has exhibited and developed her work in different institutions like Fabra i Coats, INJUVE, Sala de Arte Joven, TEA Tenerife, La Capella, Bilbaoarte, DosMares and Matadero. In her practice, she explores how images can access personal experience and serve as a hinge that articulates times, contexts and subjective experiences by experimenting with body and language.

We are celebrating the arrival of summer on 14 June, and we want to invite you to participate. It will be a kind of celebration where you can remember and enjoy a different kind of evening. We are inviting you to participate in this festival, led by the artists with whom we’ve worked this year in the families project.

We’ll begin with Ángela Segovia and Luz Prado, with whom we’ve created new lullabies in the workshop entitled ‘Donde el tigre se come a los niños’ [Where the Tiger Eats the Children], this time to get mothers to sleep. We’ll close our eyes, and perhaps someone will whisper something in our ear. We may sing or recall the songs from our childhood, or perhaps not because they’ve changed and now there are other songs.

This happened with Ruiseñora in the workshop called ‘Las canciones y los dulces. Mi casa sin patio’ [Songs and Sweets. My House without a Courtyard], in which the popular Spanish children’s song ‘El patio de mi casa’ [The Courtyard of my House] will never be the same again. Now, after the workshops we’ve held, this popular courtyard has a tree that blossoms in the autumn, as well as a Jacuzzi, bologna and pickles.

After that, for dessert, we’ll have De fruta, pastel—we’ll sample the sweetness of dulce de leche, the glazed texture of Portillo pastries and the scent of the honey flowers that flavoured our childhood. And with the aftertaste of so many memories still in our mouths, after dinner we’ll listen to Ruiseñora, who will hold a concert on the museum’s terrace, where her songs will also seem familiar yet different.

A Mouthful of Tongues is a performance by the artist Stina Fors that will be performed at the CA2M Museum as part of the Un coro Amateur voice-creation workshop.

It is a performance that explores experimental vocal techniques and the power of communication via the mouth. Turning the mouth into a theatre, she uses techniques such as grunting, ventriloquism, tongue exercises and dinosaur calls, among others.

These techniques create a journey where multiple bodies and sounds meet in dissociated relationships. The body’s connection to its voice and sound is disrupted, leading to confusion and overlapping forms of communication. This work celebrates the mouth as a powerful channel for shaping, expressing, distorting, destroying and resurrecting communication. Audiences will experience fragmented stories, thoughts and emotions from other places to create surreal landscapes that sound familiar but are, at their core, alien.

Stina Fors, born 1989 in Gothenburg, is a choreographer, performer, drummer and vocalist. She studied choreography and performance at SNDO (School for New Dance Development) in Amsterdam. Stina’s passion for sound and voice led her to create a repertoire of solo performances, including her one-woman-punk-band: Stina Force. Her live performances often incorporate experimentation and improvisation as creative strategies. Stina is currently based in Vienna.

A year ago, together with the boys and girls who reside at the Móstoles Children’s Home, we dreamed of making a home inside our own tree house. We imagined what its shape would be like, what we would do inside it and what would happen around it.

Some time later, in a conversation with the teachers at the Pablo Neruda Vocational College, we saw the importance of learning through action, and we assessed the need to turn educational spaces into places where real-life projects could be put into practice. We then thought it would be exciting to involve the Carpentry Department at the UFIL college in the construction of the house imagined by that group of children.

We at the CA2M Museum like to think that we can all take part in the construction of the world around us, so in October we will begin a process of collaboration with both groups to conceive, design and make this powerful image possible.

Over the course of the school year, we offer an activity designed for groups of secondary-school students that revolves around exhibitions and focuses on generating meaningful experiences.

Our project seeks to establish a direct link between contemporary artistic practices and students with the aim of revitalising and livening up the museum's spaces. For this reason, we like to approach exhibitions as spaces for collective creation and research.

Taking this focus into account, we invite artists and creators to think with us about strategies to activate exhibition spaces. In this process, we seek to encourage curiosity and interest among students, as well as to promote collective creation. Our main purpose is to generate spaces for students to think critically. This encounter was designed on the basis of a desire to share knowledge, know-how, experiences and to debate on the content of the exhibitions together.

To hoist our own flag on the façade of the museum for one minute. To invent names and colour palettes with which to build the landscape of Móstoles at exactly 12:30 at night. Bringing our bodies very, very close together until we become one big rock. Meditating on the roof of the building and imagining the sunset-coloured evening sky. These are some of the things that the students who visited the museum last year experienced.
