Activities

The CGAC's Activities and Pedagogical Department develops its programme with a primary goal: to bring art to society through the rigorous analysis of critical issues inherent in contemporary artistic activity.

Film seasons and conferences, workshops, seminars and concerts, make up the centre’s fundamental offer of activities, aiming to involve a wide range of audiences from the professional sector of the world of art and culture to an increasingly larger group of artists and fine art and history students, not to mention all those interested in the evolution of art and aesthetic reflection.

At the same time, the CGAC develops specific programmes for schools and colleges as well as guided tours, with the purpose of providing the various groups who come to the museum with the necessary tools to understand contemporary art and, from there, the world we live in.

My understanding is that every artistic project is like a complex space where many different plots and stories—conceptual, formal and vital—are activated and begin to interact. These contents and stories need to be activated by exercising creativity, which can be defined as a compendium of capacities and processes that we deploy through exploration, experimentation and games.

Through a dialogue, the workshop seeks for participants to understand that there are subtle decisions that affect and modify the meaning of their work. Because every creative act is extremely complex, different approaches are required to discover the reasons behind the decisions we make during the creative process.
