Effect of a Brusquely Applied Force, directed by the artist Pepe Miralles (Xàbia, 1959), is a research project that aims to establish a genealogy that comprises the oral accounts, private experiences and historical memory of the impact that HIV and AIDS have had on the psychosocial areas of communities of men who have sex with men.
This research consists in reconstructing accounts and archiving and communicating the life histories of seropositive men and the consequences of infection and disease as a response to the need to restore the erased memory of the experiences, practices and perceptions of seropositive homosexuals in this country. This genealogy could in turn become an instrument for study and research insofar as it collects a history of the pain and suffering that seropositive men have had to suffer, and also of their struggle, their thoughts and actions, not so much because of the infection with HIV as because of how the infection is constructed ideologically.
The contents of the genealogy are being created collaboratively with the participation of various associations, communities and individuals. The research will be carried out during this year, and in connection with it various activities will be performed that will determine the form that the contents acquire.
Effect of a Brusquely Applied Force will lead to the creation of an archive that will be the central focus of an exhibition to be presented in the library after the summer. The archive will later become part of the library’s collection, facilitating conservation and consultation of the material.
The specific project that Anna Malagrida (Barcelona, 1970) has developed for the IVAM, is the outcome of her interest in the festival of Fallas as a phenomenon of cultural identity, developed through observation of something that is on the fringe of the festival: its ashes.
The ashes of the Fallas monuments are a vestige of them, in the same way that a photograph preserves something that existed and is like a trace of it. Thus ashes function like a photograph, capable of activating the memory of those who knew what was photographed and establishing themselves as the last remains of a Falla.
Taking the idea of vestige and trace as its starting point, this project seeks to explore new forms that emerge from observation of the process of collecting the ashes of the Fallas monuments and observation of the actors involved. The involvement of those actors (street cleaners, lorry drivers, rubbish tip workers) in the project is an essential element that will nourish the works with their stories and their testimony, giving a new form to the experience of the festival.
This proposal poses the following questions: What is the common ground that corresponds to the personal memory shared during the festival? Is there is a form that can be associated with the collective memory, or is it an intimate personal memory situated in common ground?
Ángeles Marco (Valencia, 1947–2008) is one of the most important artists in the generation of artists that spearheaded the renovation of sculpture in Spain in the 1980s and 1990s. This artist – who was associated with the theoretical assumptions of international Conceptual Art and Post-Minimalism – and her legacy have not been sufficiently studied since her death a decade ago.
As part of its policy of giving visibility to female voices that have remained on the fringe of the official historiographic discourse, the IVAM is presenting a major selective exhibition devoted to this fundamental artist, twenty years after El taller de la memoria (The Workshop of Memory), the show that this institution devoted to her in the Centre del Carme, in which a group of six monumental installations was presented.
This new exhibition devoted to Ángeles Marco presents a carefully chosen selection of sculptures and drawings and a considerable amount of archive material representative of her entire career and not previously seen, concentrating on the series of works produced in her early years – Espacios ambiguos (Ambiguous Spaces), Entre lo real y lo ilusorio (Between the Real and the Illusory), El Tránsito (The Transition) and Salto al vacío (Leap into the Void), and on the works made from 2000 to the artist’s death.

In the present context, museums must face a great many challenges. One of the most difficult ones is that of anticipating an increasingly accelerated future that generates new and very different ways of relating. Looking ahead to the 30th anniversary of the inauguration of the IVAM, the museum wishes to reflect on what should characterise these institutions in the 21st century and to ask what their boundaries are or whether there should be boundaries.
The conference Beyond the Museum will focus on present and future relationships of museums with the agents and spaces that form the artistic ecosystem, and on promoting their integration in contemporary society.
In the conference:
The contents of the conference will be organised in terms of talks and round table discussions with the participation of professionals connected with museums, and it will be completed with communications, selected by means of an international call for papers, which will show the plurality of active thinking that is generating ideas and practices concerning museums.

CERTIFICATES
The IVAM will issue certificates of attendance of 15 hours, and communication to the participants of the congress that have attended 80% of the sessions.
19 pm. Presentation to the public of the ephemeral intervention for the esplanade of the IVAM entitled “That pink thing”, by the architects Langarita & Navarro and the artist Jerónimo Hagerman. Then the space will be open to the public, enlivened with music by The basement.
THAT PINK THING is a temporary intervention made on the IVAM’s façade by the artist Jerónimo Hagerman (Mexico City, 1967) and the architects María Langarita (Calatorao, 1979) and Víctor Navarro (Madrid, 1979). Their intention is to reveal an IVAM parallel to the one that was designed on the basis of the modern logic of what is hard and solid, and to materialise a space that provides a response to contemporary concerns about energy, the ecosystem, politics, the public sphere and sensibility.
Conversation between the artist Annette Messager and the art critic, historian and journalist Elisabeth Lebovici on the occasion of the opening of the exhibition “Annette Messager. Pudique – Publique” in Gallery 1 of the IVAM.
Annette Messager (Berck-sur-Mer, France, 1943) belongs to a generation of artists that accepted the need to create different languages with which to identify, languages separate from the patriarchate. In her works, the use of everyday objects that have traditionally been considered as being of little value enables her to alter their uses and the feelings associated with them, creating assemblages, installations or photographs in which aspects traditionally associated with femaleness are combined with others, adding new layers of meaning.
Avoiding the “noble materials” indicated by tradition is one way of materialising this “other” kind of thinking, saying and doing. As a result, the selection of everyday objects, reused materials or items that form part of the domestic landscape shifts the great discourses towards real life, towards individual existence and its needs, desires, preoccupations and affections.
In the late 1960s Annette Messager began to create collections of objects: soft toys, pieces of cloth, nets, stuffed birds, press cuttings, photos, texts and phrases, which she reordered and classified. Gradually, these “little things” became the basis on which she constructed a personal language in which reality and fantasy converse.
Annette Messager champions craftwork, making things by hand, a territory historically associated with the world of women, but she turns it around and moves it into a territory of significance and eloquence.
The exhibition demonstrates the impossibility of a linear interpretation of her work, emphasising the need for the viewer to become an active participant and accept responsibility for generating an interpretation of it.

CHAIR OF ARTISTIC STUDIES. 20th/21st CENTURIES
IVAM-UV-UPV (Institut Valencià d’Art Modern-Universitat de València-Universitat Politècnica de València-Universidad Miguel Hernández)
Directors: Juan Vicente Aliaga / Vicente Sánchez-Biosca
The life in images of contemporary culture outruns the (material and immaterial) traditional spaces in which they were entrapped in the past, even the recent past. Their genres and registers, their ambits of circulation, their ceaseless migrations give the impression of offering a previously unknown experience of the real at the same time as, in an apparent paradox, they display a not in the least feigned technological pride.
Nevertheless, however much studies of the History of Art, Fine Arts, Journalism and Audiovisual Communication have attempted to adapt to the demands of this state of affairs, the lability of the borders between creation and reflection, technology and art, the media and the collective imaginary, among others, requires more ductile ambits of reflection and debate than those to be found in university studies and traditional research. On the other hand, unlike classical philology, palaeography, the exegesis of written texts and the image still presents an imbalance between its (emotional, conceptual, political, memory-based) impact and the instruments provided to analyse it.
The aim of Cátedra Estudios Artísticos, arising from the collaboration between the University of Valencia, the Polytechnic University of Valencia and the IVAM, will consist in encouraging this reflection about the life of images both in the world of art and in social life, including imaginary. It will do so broadmindedly, avoiding academic, artistic or technological restrictions, but, nevertheless, thriving on and taking advantage of all the academic, museum-based and institutional aids at its disposal. For that reason, the fact that it is held at the IVAM is propitious because it can enrich its activities with the reflection about exhibitions, installations or lectures, and also the series of projections.
This conference, conceived by the artist Francesc Ruiz, aims to cover the various expressions and sensibilities that contribute to the richness of the spectrum of LGTBIQ comics organized in collaboration with the Chair of Art Studies. 20th/21st Centuries (IVAM-UV-UPV-UMH).
There will be four sessions which, while not seeking to be exhaustive, will offer experiences, new images and tools for self-representation. The conference is also prompted by a desire to bring together members of the public interested in LGTBIQ comics, to discover authors and to share knowledge.
Session 1 / 11:15 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Roberta Marrer and El Bebé Verde in conversation with Mery Cuesta
Session 2 / 12:30 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.
