Exhibitions

Between the advent of Atlántica and the emergence of Pontevedra’s School of Fine Arts, Galicia has witnessed the development of the work of a long list of artists of varying academic backgrounds and with very different aesthetic ideas and conceptual horizons.

Domesticated Records is a project that seeks to show the unity that lies behind the themed, technical and formal motivation present throughout the artist's forty-five year long career. The exhibit, organized by the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture, and Sport's General Subdirectorate for the Promotion of Fine Arts, was presented at the Tabacalera Promoción del Arte exhibit hall in Madrid, at the beginning of 2015.

The exhibition Theory and Practice of the Desert is a journey through the processes that are present in the work of Antoni Socias. Photography and painting, objects, installations and videos are linked through friction. His works reveal a preference for paradox and also for the absurd that subtly turn into latent social and political criticism from the point of view of lesser things, underlining the importance of attitudes in everyday…

The universe of Luis González Palma (Guatemala, 1957) is made up of theme-related constellations that orbit around his work in a never-ending flow and return cycle. Identity and memory —the pillars of his early photographic series— are approached from the perspective of the portrait with lingering echoes of religious painting, the baroque and Pre-Raphaelite styles.

This project, brought to CGAC after being presented at the Museum University of Navarra, constitutes the most recent body of work by artist Javier Vallhonrat. Under the title Interactions, it brings together 52 photographs, seven videos and a video installation. All of these works are divided into five sections—42ºN, Standard Drift, Boundary Friction, Record of Time, and Eolionimia—and distributed over ground floor and first floor rooms.

Arissa. The Shadow and the Photographer. 1922-1936 is a photographic exhibition by Colección Telefónica devoted to the Catalan artist Antoni Arissa (Sant Andreu, 1900 - Barcelona 1980). The exhibition is the result of the work to recover photographic archives that Fundación Telefónica has been carrying out for years, as is the case of the Telefónica Photographic Archive, or the archives of Marín, Brangulí and Virxilio Viéitez.

The work of José Val del Omar (Granada, 1904- Madrid, 1982) displays his facets as inventor, visual poet and cinemist. With this neologism, Val del Omar’s intention was to combine the activity of the alchemist with that of the film-maker, and as such define his original approach to cinema: via technological research and his own experimental aesthetics.

Tectónica is not just another Manuel Vilariño exhibition. What is proposed here is an exploration into his creative and poetic world, but from a perspective which allows us to approach his work from an unprecedented angle or viewpoint.
