One more year, the CGAC is organising a cycle of workshops on contemporary art for families. Fathers, mothers, aunts, uncles, grandmothers, grandfathers... can all join in with their young ones and have fun investigating and experimenting with art in practical creative sessions. Children between 4 and 9 are invited to come with two family members to take part in this activity, which will be held on the third weekend of every month.This edition will be dedicated to contemporary art and movement. Through the work of six artists we will cover various thematic areas related to this concept: searching for movement in painting and sculpture, creating with the body in movement and achieving movement with resources such as videos or action mechanisms present in the artistic production of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

This cycle of practical courses for teachers proposes the use of contemporary art as a learning tool for the classroom. The programme is structured around three themes of great importance to formal education (mathematics, narrative and knowledge of the natural environment). It is designed to explore the limits between knowledge areas and invite the teachers to experiment and learn before using these ideas in their classrooms.
In 2011 three of the exhibitions at the CGAC will find their musical counterpoint in the concert series organized by fonos21. The first of the three exhibitions will be dedicated to the Italian-Brazilian artist Ana Maria Maiolino and produced by the Tàpies Foundation in collaboration with CGAC and the Malmö Konsthalle. The second is a collective exhibition entitled Are you ready for television?, coproduced by CGAC and Barcelona’s MACBA, and lastly, the solo show featuring the American artist, Jeff Wall, which will close the yearly exhibition programme.
