Exhibitions

Paths is a project that deals with the act of walking, strolling and the experience of the path, of wandering, of the itinerary, of pilgrimage as artistic phenomena and experiences. Paths forms a dialogue between a series of artists and projects that have historically marked the ways of visualising walking and the evolution of the idea of the path. 

Pingas rompentes forms a part of the project A Look at Galicia, which, through the CGAC Collection, examines contemporary Galician creation. On this occasion, we have decided upon a specific selection of works for the context of Galicia's Museo do Mar.

David Lamelas (Buenos Aires, 1946) is a key figure in the field of conceptual art and one of the most important in the Argentinean art world of the sixties. From the very beginning of his career, his oeuvre has been characterised by its unique chameleonic ability to adapt to different contexts, be they artistic, architectural, geographic or social, in capital cities like London, Brussels, Paris, Milan, Los Angeles, New York or Berlin.

In 2017, the CGAC purchased Camilo José Cela’s photographic archive, which until then was deposited in the Fundación Camilo José Cela in Iria Flavia, in Padrón. This archive is made up of three collections of photographs and negatives that were used by the writer for literary projects and books.

Pilgrim Actions is the title of the exhibition of the Andalusian artist Pilar Albarracín (Seville, Spain, 1968) on show at the CGAC. This is a retrospective exhibition integrated into the programme of events of the second edition of Plataforma. Performing Arts Festival, which will also feature the artist as one of this year's guest performers.

The power of images, symbols, icons, but also the political representation of history and its manipulations and omissions are matters that have been extensively addressed in the field of art theory and history.

The CGAC, in collaboration with C3A in Córdoba, proudly presents the first retrospective exhibition of work by the late composer Pauline Oliveros (Houston, 1932-2016). The retrospective includes a selection of hitherto unpublished documents, photographs, and audiovisual recordings tracing the composer’s entire creative career.

Coinciding with the 30th anniversary of the opening of the Fine Arts Faculty of Pontevedra (1990-2020), the exhibition aims to display a important selection of art works created by the students who have passed through its classrooms during its more than a quarter of a century of activity.
