Summer has arrived and is accompanied by a new edition of Talleres de lecer at the CGAC.

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.

The advent and rise of new media such as the Internet and video games at the end of the twentieth century pushed television out of the spotlight of the media ecosystem.

If there is a filmmaker who embodies the reflective vocation of modernity, that is Chris Marker (Neuilly-sur-Seine, 1921 - Paris, 2012). From the dialogue between texts of great evocative power and visual arts, Marker conceives image in multiple formats and registers, and forges an aesthetic journey that gravitates to what André Bazin called the ‘essay-film.’To Marker, images are the only plausible memory of time, and this incites a…

The advent of the internet, or the technological advances that now enable and dictate the guidelines for the recording and playback of images and sounds, have caused an obvious shift in the relationship that links the image with its potential consumers.Among the issues this brings new availability raises, it’s time to take a good look at the way in which countless procedures for managing and dissemination images at the industrial or household…

The Iron Lady, emerging from the most unabashed reactionarism, is one of the most obscene acts of antipolitical cinema that we can recall. The hagiography of Margaret Thatcher, in its crude non-criticism which cannot be stressed enough, artfully transcends an entire generation of filmmakers who used the screen like a shield or a parapet from which to practice the self-defense of all those who felt violated by the conservative…

The workshop we propose does not aim to address sexual issues but rather the categories in which society and sexuality have found places to take hold as likenesses in perpetuity. Reconstructing or reinterpreting McLuhan’s quote, we could say that sexuality would be the message.
