A conversation between the production of artist Antonio Ballester Moreno —created in collaboration with families and students from CEIP Federico García Lorca in Móstoles— and 29 works by other creators belonging to the Dos de Mayo Art Centre Museum Collection.
Ester Partegàs’s exhibition, conceived jointly for the Museo CA2M of the Autonomous Community of Madrid and Es Baluard Museu d’Art Contemporani in Palma de Mallorca, represents a broad survey of her work over the last three decades.
AYYO, the acronym of Arquitectura y “Yo” [Architecture and “I”], is the title of the work that Juan Carlos Bracho has donated to the Museo CA2M community as consideration for his 2020 show, curated by Armando Montesinos, at Sala Alcalá 31 of the Autonomous Community of Madrid.
2026 PICNIC SESSIONS: OPEN UP THE NIGHT
La Tristura and Mucha Muchacha are coming to the CA2M Museum this year to present the Picnic Sessions 2026. They have invited a range of artists to join them for a few hours at dusk. And so, between 28 May and 2 July, we’ll gather on the museum terrace to welcome the evening together.
“THEN THE ATTENDEES CLIMBED ONTO THE ROSTRUM AND DEVOURED THE SPEAKERS”
Over the course of five sessions, we’ll experiment with insubordination, anonymity, collective authorship, resistance, radical confidence, power, cannibalism and other heroic fantasies with which to unleash popular energy.
This exhibition—the first monograph dedicated to Dorothy Iannone at a Spanish institution, curated by Tania Pardo—takes its title from the spirit of perseverance and continuity with which the artist approached life and art, and also from her passionate and generous approach to creation. The expression “over and over again” embodies Iannone’s lifelong conception of her work as the draft of a total work. The exhibition itinerary is organised around six thematic sections that invite viewers to explore her creative universe.
GUIDED TOURS OF THE EXHIBITIONS
In April and May the curators of the Ester Partegàs and Dorothy Iannone exhibitions, Bea Espejo and Tania Pardo, will take you on a tour of the shows, pointing out the hallmarks of the artistic practices of these two creators.
WHAT THE EYE DOESN'T REVEAL
These tours of the Ester Partegàs, Dorothy Iannone and Antonio Ballester Moreno exhibitions don’t seek categorical answers but open up a space where the experiences of visitors, and of groups that now form part of the museum, are put into play and create networks. We want to reflect together on it what means to tour an exhibition using conversation, listening and the difference of gazes.
ABUNDANCE LAB
What does a garden that emerges from an abandoned picnic smell of? How do you make compost and compost yourself? What sun-based systems invite us to imagine desirable futures? The Abundance Lab is a meeting place, a starting point: we can decide what we want to be from now on, and it’s best to do it together.
FROM 5 TO 7
A place to watch films, make films, think about the classroom and everything outside it. Aimed at teachers, lecturers and anyone interested in audiovisual media and education. This space encourages us to explore new ways of learning, teaching and viewing collectively.
