An exhibition curated by: Alberto Martín
Auto. Sueño y Materia is organized by CA2M Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo and Laboral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial

Auto. Sueño y material, examines the influence of the car in contemporary art. With over one hundred works by sixty artists from Spain and further afield, the exhibition throws light on the relationship between car culture and art over recent decades. The vast majority of the works presented come from the last two decades but with a heavy accent on the current moment, a period in which the reading of the car from an art perspective took on such density and complexity as well as critical perspective and detached biting wit. The automobile has been, and indeed still is, one of the most effective media for the material embodiment of dreams. And now, artists are questioning the reality of those dreams.
