General Confession is a retrospective of Luis Gordillo, curated by Juan Antonio Álvarez Reyes, director of the Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo in Seville and Santiago Olmo, director of the CGAC. The exhibition is the first by the Sevillian artist in Galicia, and it allows us to follow his work, from the series of informalism-based drawings of the late nineteen-fifities to the paintings and photograph works in which canvases are used as media and computer graphics as tools.

PLACE: CONTINGENCIES OF USE
Place: Contingencies of Use is an approach to the existential meaning of architectural space. The project shows site-specific works by the artists Patricia Esquivias, Luciana Lamothe and Sofía Táboas, produced for different locations within the building designed by Álvaro Siza. The origin of their proposals lies in the field of the contemporary city and in architecture, sharing the common denominator of the promotion of acts that address specific architectural environments. Their works deal with that which is tectonic, with the morphology of materials and the building elements. They address the historical and symbolic dimension and the perceptive and cognitive one, which is ultimately the end that justifies spatial construction and consequently architecture.

BATHERS. FOUND PHOTOGRAPHS, 1880-1963
Bathers comprises an extensive set of anonymous photographs of semi-naked boys, scarcely covered by a swimsuit and pictured in contact with nature. Boys who appear outdoors: by beaches, swimming pools, in the countryside, beside lakes or rivers, recreating the traditional iconography of bathers that has enjoyed a high profile throughout the history of art.
This exhibition project is framed within the line of work widely developed internationally (but practically unknown in Spain), in which the abovementioned democratic, anonymous, neglected, poor and vulgar photographic material, by virtue of the taste, knowledge and aesthetic reason of creators and collectors becomes a cultural artefact, an artistic production, an editorial project. This is precisely what Bathers aims to be.

CRITICAL EXHIBITIONS. CRITICAL DISCOURSES IN SPANISH ART, 1975-1995
The project CRITICAL EXHIBITIONS. Critical Discourses in Spanish Art, 1975-1995, directed by Santiago Olmo and curated by Armando Montesinos and Mariano Navarro, aims to highlight the existence of critical criteria and interpretations that have shaped different theoretical lines and discourses, sometimes with shared elements and other times with clearly opposing ones, thus contradicting the cliché that critical thinking has never been part of the Spanish art world.

BERTA CÁCCAMO. EXPANSIÓN ENSAIO
With an early vocation, Berta Cáccamo (Vigo, 1963) grew up in a universe linked to the creation. Considered one of the most important Spanish painters of his generation, he has been able to distil away influences from very different times, always ready to debate with her work, with the problems of art and its images.
Demanding and reflective, her painting is the product of a restless, emotional and affective way of looking. Hence the title of the exhibition, which speaks of 'expansión' because her work is a vital project and, at the same time, an 'essay' project, as it is written in the present continuous and is etched into the memory of the painting as an essential material.
