Exhibitions

Between October 2022 and February 2023, the CGAC hosted Lives, a solo exhibition from the artist and film-maker, Claudio Zulian. The exhibition resulted in an artist's workshop, conceived as a space for reflection, experience and creation around the urban fabric and the communities that inhabit it.

Concha Jerez and José Iges have developed a common production in parallel which is influenced and enriched by the difference of their respective languages. Starting from the concept of ‘resignification,’ this joint exhibition assembles works created between 1989 and 2023. What they propose is “an operation that enables them to assign to an object, medium or situation qualities unexpected, unforeseen, up until that moment.”

The CGAC presents an individual exhibition of the work of Mar Caldas, a pioneer of feminist artistic practice in Galicia. Her work is constantly renewing its stance as a means of protest against the different obstacles which, by their very nature, threaten women’s lives. On this occasion, she invites us on a tour, in which women’s work and an indictment of its low esteem, past and present, play a central discursive role.

Pilar Albarracín (Seville, 1968) was one of the key creators in the renewal of artistic languages in Spain during the nineteen-nineties. In a scene hitherto dominated by painting and sculpture, her work pioneered the use of photography, performance or installation as a means of artistic expression, and has contributed to formulating some of the fundamental questions for understanding the evolution of artistic practices in recent decades.

Contemporary cinema continues researching new cinematographic forms, from the avant-garde to expanded cinema. On this journey, the museum has established itself as a space where cinema also has a place, hosting the experimental discourses and proposals of a new generation of authors within its halls.

Against a backdrop ranging from Milan Kundera to Simone Weil, Vieta reflects on the contradictions of human experience through snapshots that capture the complexity of the spectrum of our emotions, thoughts and experiences. Her works redefine the relationship between opposites with the coherence that only lies in dreams.

Salto cuántico (Quantum Leap) is an interactive sculpture with three mobile, interchangeable modules. It adopts the structure of the first computers from the nineteen-forties—contemporary totems on casters that allow constant updates, making this an open structure in the quantum space.

The most complete and comprehensive vision of an artist’s work is made possible when we have the opportunity to examine their artistic production throughout their career. An opportunity to travel in time, taking as a reference point the works that are a product of effort and dedication to the unique task of wanting to show.

In the period between 1965 and 1975, conceptual art represented a change of paradigm unheard of until then in the history of art. It changed from an art conceived as an ‘autonomous object’ to another model in which this autonomy was called into question and it became more focused on the ‘process.’
