INTERNATURALTECNOWAVES CA2M

I worked for three consecutive editions on the curatorship of the Picnic Sessions programme at CA2M Museum (Móstoles, Madrid). Every Thursday from June until mid-July, the museum’s terrace becomes a space where we develop a programme of activities that blends the bodily and the sonic with educational and participatory practices.

The proposals across the three editions I curated were shaped by the perspectives of the selection committee, resulting in a variety of approaches built around a different theme each year.

«Let's see ... INTERNATURALTECNOWAVES, that we are all interconnected by techno waves, something like that? It refers yes, to something electronic but more recent. But also to this interconnection that is generated between all of us who congregate at the Picnic. That are formed as itinerant communities of meaning. Electronic music without electronic instruments I like too. For me these Picnic have that digital touch, sensible, but not nostalgic, right? Because… Ah! Another thing we liked was this idea that although it is trash-techno, there is still a lot of light in the programming itself, we bet on that. There must be something kind of hypnotic. Yes, yes, and color.

«Do you want us to start recording? Yes, I'm already recording. On mode. Everything happens like this, in a desert of internaturaltecnowaves, electronic and recent, where everything that has black goblin sounds, full of sparkles, magnetism, metallic howls, fluorescent roads with irreverent songs, soft material machine, a techno trash collage of luminous power. Hypnotic, and yes, with a lot of color or many colors. Very Móstoles and very southern. With a pair of pink hoods on the head and some marks on the body. A pact of permanence in a Polaroid photo. A mixture of bodies that vibrate to the sound of their songs and sweat hormones between luminous tubes that illuminate a night without moon but full of stars, dancing in the freedom of the well rooted. “Among spring flowers, black buffalo lie down, among erect pine trees, white cranes rest. With our voices, the twilight falls on the terrace ”. Do you dare to do something like this? ».
