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.

Many painters, along with Granell, have enjoyed a close relatesationship with celluloid, particularly in the experimental field, to the extent that the majority of the innovators of the avant-garde movements of the past, almost all of whom were Dadaists and Surrealists, came originally from the world of painting: Man Ray, Viking Eggeling, Walter Ruttmann, Marcel Duchamp, Fernand Léger or Jean Cocteau, amongst others.

O VISIBLE E O VISUAL 11-12 xullo O CGAC invita a artistas profesionais ou en formación a participaren nun encontro con Ignasi Aballí, no cal se debaterá acerca da importancia e da hexemonía do visual sobre outros sentidos no mundo contemporáneo.

Aínda que, desde o punto de vista económico, o impacto destas institucións resulta incuestionable, a súa capacidade de xerar ou acoller propostas innovadoras, que supoñan…
