Notes for a Time Apart A non-linear rapporteurship This video is the last stop in Notes for a Time Apart, a programme held in the Museo Reina Sofía from 30 June to 16 December 2023 with activities that looked to address other modes of conceiving time, beyond its normative and purely metric dimension. The programme was made up of a range of activities such as artistic and architectural installations, workshops, lectures, performances and encounters. The audiovisual piece here, which now works as a non-linear rapporteurship, gathers some of the gestures, sounds and encounters that took place, and aims to acknowledge and thank those who were willing to share time (and their time) during the programme.

Angela Melitopoulos Cine(so)matrix This exhibition charts the work of Angela Melitopoulos (Munich, 1961) from 1999 to the present day, pivoting around video as installation and as essay, starting from her most recent project Matri-Linear B, currently in progress.Melitopoulos uses video as a tool for sensory intervention on and in the real, in projects which, setting out from specific case studies, address the historical and technological conditions of our cinematic experience of the world. Her videos and installations explore memory, perception and the forming of collective historical awareness, in addition to mapping and the use of places in time, moving deeper into specific issues such as resistance to the scattering of migrant communities’ memory, territorial struggles against extractivism and the present of animist thought in technological society. During the process of creation in these works, different collaborations surface, whether via encounters she maintains with the people involved in developing research or through her relationship, sustained over time, with certain intellectuals, artists or activists.
