Ciclo de vídeo animado de las colecciones del Museo CA2M

Screening programme bringing together animated video works from the CA2M collections in Móstoles, focused on drawing in motion as its central theme.

The Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo in Móstoles presents this video cycle focusing on the presence of the moving image within its two collections: that of contemporary art of the Community of Madrid and that of the ARCO Foundation. The programme invites viewers to consider the audiovisual medium as a space for artistic experimentation linked to the social and cultural contexts in which it emerges.

The first programme focuses on animated video and brings together nine works by Cristina Lucas, Vasava Artworks, Vicente Blanco, Paco Guillén, Marina Núñez, Lois Patiño, Leonor Serrano Rivas and Juan Zamora. All of them explore drawing in motion from different perspectives and sit between the visual arts, film, handcrafted animation, music, dance and stage design.

As a starting point, the exhibition revisits Fantasmagorie, the 1908 short film by Émile Cohl, regarded as the first film made entirely using animation. From there, the itinerary considers the line, the technique and the processes that shape the language of animated drawing and its evolution within contemporary art. Among the selected videos is Otra vez algo nuevo by Vicente Blanco, from 2006.
