With this motto, the ICOM wants to raise awareness about the power of museums to transform the world around us into places of discovery that teach us about our past and open up our minds to new ideas, two vital steps towards building a better future.

IVAM joins this organized celebration, from May 16th to 22nd, an extended program to view all of its potential. Therefore, in addition to Wednesday 18th (International Museum Day) and Saturday May 21st (when our opening hours extend to 24 hours), some of the museum’s trunk lines will be displayed and activated throughout the week.

CONFLUÈNCIES. Artistic interventions in the towns of Route 99 are continuing in their process of artistic activations in the rural setting, within the line of action of IVAM al territori. Actions which, through dialogue, attentive listening and shared learning, try to connect contemporary art with places that are not used to this language, becoming an activator of our imaginations.

On Saturday May 7th, the resident artists will talk about and present their interventions in the towns of Alto Palancia, together with those that accompanied them in their processes.

CONFLUÈNCIES would not be possible without invaluable support – before, during and after their periods spent on visits-, of the town councils and local agents, and the residents, who provided accommodation, meetings, conversations and arrangements to be able to carry out the artistic interventions in their towns.

On Friday May 6th, the Presentes Densos working group. Around the arts of living on a damaged planet presents the results of the soundscape and field recording workshops that have been carried out within the cycle.

The results will be exhibited as a sound installation, created in situ by the working group itself and the artist, Edu Comelles. The installation is created using the sound recordings that the participants of the cycle have taken in different areas of the Albufera Natural Park (Tancat de Mília, Tancat de la Pipa, la Devesa, el Racó de l’Olla), at different times of year (autumn, winter and spring) and at different times (from a night recording and from a distance, to a dawn chorus of birds).

The soundscape workshops were led by María del Castillo, Kamen Nedev and Edu Comelles. The aim of these workshops consists, above all, of putting our listening skills into practice: in being able to “pay attention to the silence that a blackbird’s song can bring into existence”, as Vinciane Despret said, but “acknowledging the importance of silence”.

IVAM EXTENDED PROGRAMME, in collaboration with La Mutant

Within the framework of Ensayos sobre lo cutre. Lecturas del archivo Miguel Benlloch (Essays on seediness. Readings from the archive of Miguel Benlloch) and programed around the Day of Dance, IVAM travels to La Mutant to present this performance by María Salgado and Fran MM Cabeza de Vaca.

Jinete Último Reino is the name given to a piece of research that is structured around a trilogy of independent theatrical pieces which, in turn, are Fragments of a work that is still in the process of creation and which will bring this project, begun in 2017 by María Salgado and Fran MM Cabeza de Vaca, to an end.

Consisting of music, poetry and performance, Jinete Último Reino is a journey of sound and language that is neither linear nor narrative, based around desire, repression, the norm and rebellion.

Biographies

María Salgado (1984) and Fran MM Cabeza de Vaca (1976) have worked together in Madrid since 2012, starting from an idea for using audio text as an intersection between poetry and language, sound art, music and performance. The area of research entitled Hacía un ruido (Made a noise) (2012-2016), which focuses on the cycle of political disobedience of 2011, gave rise to self-published graphic posters and leaflets, a book, a record, an instrumental piece for ensembles, a sound exhibition of two months’ duration, and a hybrid recital that toured different spaces and contexts in locations such as Madrid, New York, Barcelona and Guadalajara (Mexico). Jinete Último Reino (2017-ongoing) is the area of research that they are currently immersed in, which investigates sexual and gender dissidence. Its origin lies in an instrumental piece whose musical score was published in the Present Tense Pamphlets collection (Northwestern University). In connection with this area of research, they have also produced an audio piece for Radio Reina Sofía, posters (Manifiesto, 2018), music scores, and two theatrical pieces of 60 minutes duration: Frag. 3 and Frag. 2. They were premiered respectively at the (Madrid, 2017) and at the MACBA (Barcelona, 2019). Both have toured and continue to tour at various theaters, museums, and festivals. Recently, they have produced Frag. 1 of the trilogy, a work that was premiered in November 2021 at the Sala Negra of Teatros del Canal, as part of the Autumn Festival. Around this work, they have produced the audiovisual piece entitled Nana de esta pequeña era (This little era lullaby), commissioned by Pedro G. Romero for the Bergen Assembly (Norway, 2020), exhibited as an installation at WKV Stuttgart (Politics of life, 2020), and the octophonic installation, A la poesía la llama lengua a la lengua la llama continuidad…, (Poetry is called by language is called by continuity…) which was recently exhibited within Komunikazio-inkomunikazio at Tabakalera (Donosti, 2021).

IVAM Centre Julio González

On the occasion of the Julio González Award being granted to Carmen Calvo (Valencia, 1950), IVAM has organized an exhibition which reviews the principal lines of this artist’s research from the late 1960s to the present time. To a large extent, one of Carmen Calvo’s works supports the recovery and re-creation of images and of discarded objects. In her complex creative process, the artist constructs her personal view of the world activating mechanisms such as daydreams, memories, desires and fears.

The tour of this exhibition begins with a selection of works, created during the 1980s, belonging to her emblematic series Escrituras, Recopilación y Reconstrucción (Writing, Compilation and Reconstruction). This is a series of works in plaster of Paris and clay which are assembled in a patient exercise of archaeological compilation and classification, works that evoke recovered vestiges of ancient writings.

In this exhibition, the central nave of Gallery 1 presents a re-creation of the artist’s studio, a jumbled scenario in which the artworks cohabit with shelves, dolls, magazines and fragments of diverse objects and mannequins; images and references that, like a cabinet of curiosities, becomes the real cornerstone of her work.

A notable place within this exhibition is occupied by Carmen Calvo’s critical look at women’s oppression and inequality. A reflection that the artist has intensified during the past decade through the use of photographic images that she has rescued and taken part in and that show us, in a very direct manner, silenced women, mistreated in their everyday work, festivities and families. Hidden and oppressed faces under cloths, rags, ropes and the enigmatic remains of toys.

Part of the Ensayos sobre lo cutre. Lecturas del archivo Miguel Benlloch (Essays on seediness. Readings from the Miguel Benlloch archive) exhibition and the programming around the Day of Dance, IVAM presents the performance Negro (Negro Live set) y Rossa (RSRJ RJRS) by María Salgado and Fran MM Cabeza de Vaca.

Both pieces explore moments of subjective and collective disobedience, not through speech, but through aesthetic materiality of some audios and some texts. Negro (Negro Live set) talks about desire as a driving force from poems with luxurious language, snippets of a political manifesto with the form of a poem, putting videoclips into words and extreme lyrical loops; while Rossa (RSRJ RJRS) akes binary classifications of gender and identity to the extreme to dissolve them and rave about them using a combinatorial analysis (Gertrude Stein and Steve Reich).

To finish, a lullaby composed from the one that Lorca and La Argentinita recorded in 1931, invites us and alerts us to the dangers offered by the world after sleep, saving the power of encouragement and re-enchantment that this type of songs have by definition. Outside of the pre-recorded meanings and the tones homogenized by the discourse about order, a listening experience opens up in the body. Desire + Dissolution + Re-enchantment > an imagination.

IVAM Centre Julio González

The exhibition Mar Arza. A pesar / A saber / A tientas (In spite / In short / In darkness) is a specific project by Mar Arza for Gallery 3. Designed as an installation, which has brought together archaeological pieces that are displayed in dialogue with works by Julio González and works by the artist herself. By juxtaposing some of these examples of cultures of different geographical and temporary origins, you can perceive one continuous thread in the gestures and nuances of the human condition. Successive clues are shown that hold they hypothesis of the continued existence of shapes: those that are transmitted through time and coexist in the shared imagination.

With a time span comprising seven millennia, the set of pieces brings together diversity and similarity. The body lists its potential and, at the same time, moves to areas of conflict that are related to contemporaneity and where feminine subjectivity plays a fundamental role, not just from the present.

The selection of works by Mar Arza reveals a line of work where reflection of the pregnant body includes a substrate which has been prolonged over the years in a transversal way, taking different approaches and using different materials. Brought together in this exhibition through a device which conditions your perception and reading, the sculptures broaden the echo of their dysfunctionality.

Part of the exhibition Anni and Josef Albers. Art and life, we have invited artist Andrea Canepa to hold a talk with the work of Anni Albers, the result is a specific piece, On weaving, which can be seen in the hall at IVAM

“I love the idea of writing with threads, of reading by touch. When humans began to write, language – which, at the time, only existed in our body (our mind, our voice) – acquired a separate existence as an artefact, as an abstraction. I think about the material nature of paper and how ink doesn’t alter its structure. I think about information stored digitally, and about how its material support is almost irrelevant: the same data can be stored nowadays on a chip, yesterday on a magnetic tape and before that on punch card. I imagine writing with threads as a way of anchoring the language of the material world, giving it a single body that it can no longer be separated from, because the structure that shapes the fabric is the information on it.

The piece On Weaving is part of that desire to write with threads. To do this, I use the connection between the history of textiles and the history of computing. The art of weaving is a mathematical question, it is about understanding patterns and structures. Weaving is the original binary system: warp and weft, passing over and under translate easily into on and off, ones and zeros. In this piece, the characters of the alphabet are transferred to a textile pattern based on binary code to transcribe the first chapter of the book On Weaving by artist Anni Albers.” Andrea Canepa
