ELENA ALONSO. IN THE CARE OF THE SMALL SHADOWS
Al cuidado de las pequeñas sombras (In the care of the small shadows) is a site-specific installation created by Elena Alonso for the terrace of the Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo Museum, consisting of four sculptures conceived as a bat shelter.
CA2M DIALECT
For the first time, more than 400 works by 250 artists are coming together in an exhibition that showcases the CA2M collections and takes up the entire museum space. It is a celebration of what the museum represents and has represented from the beginning. This journey begins with the historical avant-garde - all the artists who accompanied Picasso at the Pavilion of the Spanish Republic - and continues through history up to the present day. It is not only an international exhibition, as are all the CA2M and the ARCO Foundation collections, but also a story that is told from inside this institution, from the collections it holds, and ultimately, from Móstoles.

SYNTACTIC TACTIC. DIEGO BIANCHI
By supposing that logic makes chaos natural and order artificial, we are positing a physical and conceptual experiment of what an exhibition space is. Syntactic Tactic . Diego Bianchi is an exercise in disassembling. A white cube, a neutral space, windowless, consisting of white walls and a source of light shining from top to bottom, becomes the raw material for a plausible disassembling. Based on an absence of pre-defined moulds and behavioural guidelines, this project highlights a number of exhibition practices.

MIRROR AND KINGDOM / ORNAMENT AND STATE. ÁLVARO PERDICES
Espejo y Reino / Ornamento y Estado is an installation by artist Álvaro Perdices and curated by María Virginia Jaua. The project – designed specifically for the spaces of the CA2M Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo – puts forward the concept of confronting the idea of the archive with the deconstruction of the notions of State and institution framed within the personal and the historical.
The actor and activist Zahy Guajajara, the lead in the sci-fi trilogy and collaborator with Pedro Neves Marques in the exhibition YWY, Visions, is carrying out a performance lecture, laced with irony, in which she questions supposedly universal concepts from her own worldview.
In her own words: “UPAW – The End is a ritual with the intention of curing us of ourselves, intrepid, special beings that we are. The fact that human learning pretends to be superior to the learning of the rest of the world is an eternal tragedy. This is a ritual to reflect on what we have become and the world we have created. The end has come too soon.”
ZAHY GUAJAJARA
Zahy Guajajara was born in the Cana Brava indigenous reservation in Maranhão (Brazil). She currently works as a writer and a television, theatre and film actor in movies like Macunaima (2020) and Não Devore Meu Coração (2017).

NACHO CRIADO. NOT THE VOICE OF ONE CALLING IN THE DESERT
One of the lines of work undertaken by CA2M is to revitalise the history of contemporary art exhibitions in Madrid. For this one-object exhibition by Nacho Criado, we focus on Madrid: Espacio de interferencias (Madrid: Space of Interferences), curated in 1990 by the art theorist and historian Javier Maderuelo (Madrid, 1950) for the Círculo de Bellas Artes.
