On this occasion we will focus on Víctor Vasarely. An artist considered the father of Op Art.
We propose a new way of relating to the museum with the aim of consolidating and promoting mutual enrichment and an exchange of experiences.
Through these guided visits and activities, we want to reflect on concepts and ideas that will emerge throughout the visit, relating the works from the MACA collections to their context, in a transversal way, analyzing current reality and how artists represent their experiences by creating a collective memory through the great diversity of contemporary languages that have emerged in the 20th and 21st centuries.
For inquisitive adults. Led by Explicarte. With the support of the Consorci de Museus de la Generalitat.
The Fruto project aims to showcase different Alicante creators, deepen and expand knowledge about contemporary art, and learn to view the collections housed in the MACA from another perspective.
On this occasion we will focus on Alexander Calder. American engineer and sculptor, creator of the innovative mobiles or chupin (hanging mobile toys), which would eventually become the seed of kinetic sculpture.

"The Contemporary Art Museum as a Space for Social Transformation" Led by Manuel Segade, director of the National Museum Reina Sofía Art Center (MNCARS). Other Museums, Other Perspectives is a lecture series in which managers and directors of other museums are invited to speak about their experiences, histories, and knowledge in the management and direction of the museums in which they have worked. Coordinated by: Isabel Tejeda
Three perspectives: architecture, music, feminism. Composing to give meaning to the forms in which we live. To inhabit them, to listen to them, when one inhabits a space, it is perceived through all the senses. Sounds are there in everything, whether we want them to be or not. We can fill space with created sounds or not, and if there are no sounds, then the natural environment or your own body sounds or resonates. Composing is organizing (chaos). Distributing pure or complex geometries. Organic forms (existing in nature) can be pure or complex as well. Everything can be formalized from a landscape to sounds.
Architecture and urban environments also from other perspectives, music and feminist theories. Examples at different scales from residential complexes to urban fabrics and buildings, and some musical compositions.
"Art Mail" continues to be available to all visitors who wish to participate. We remind you that these are postcards that reproduce works by Juana Francés to send around the world from the museum, where we have installed a collection mailbox, with the aim of extending knowledge of the artist's works and allowing her works to travel and be disseminated.
Request the postcard at the counter, write a message on it to whoever you wish, and drop it in the mailbox. Make Juana's work travel around the world!
In its latest reports, the United Nations Environment Programme calls for a "rapid transformation of societies" to address the climate crisis. In them, architecture is identified as one of the basic fields of action where a possible ecological collapse is at stake.
What can we do?
Inaction is not an option. Architecture must shift from its usual positions. This lecture will present four shifts that, we believe, reposition architectural practice within an ecological framework.

Alicante has 36 specimens of monumental ficus trees considered part of its heritage. They are living monuments that leave us amazed with their majestic canopies and impressive columns made of roots.
In this session of the Mitolatorio we reclaim the city's arboreal heritage, we highlight its value through the invention of contemporary myths and performative games that build experiences and awaken love for these magical beings that coexist with us. Shall we create an arborescent route?.
