CGAC tenth anniversary

Centro Galego de Arte Contemporanea CGAC, Santiago de Compostela

CGAC is pleased to announce the celebration of its tenth anniversary, which will take place at its premises in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, on Monday September 29th, 2003. The same day CGAC will open 6 exhibition projects with artists such as Karin Sander, Roland Fischer, João Onofre, Hubbard and Birchler, Vicente Blanco and Marina Abramovic.

Karin Sander. 1:9, CGAC 2003
30th September - 14th December. Hall. Karin Sander's interventions (Bensberg, Germany, 1957) are focused on neighbouring spaces with the purpose of discovering something that is hidden or remains unnoticed. Her presentation at CGAC is the sculpture project Body Scans, which consists of scanning an indefinite number of visitors inside a complex machine. The final result is an accurate copy of each person at a 1:9 scale.

Roland Fischer. Camino
30th September - 7th December. First floor. Roland Fischer (Munich, Germany, 1958) is one of the most unique photographers of his generation. He always works with series, in which he portrays façades, cathedrals as well as anonymous and popular characters. At CGAC he will present a specific project including a collective portrait of one thousand and fifty pilgrims taken in Santiago de Compostela, alongside the architectural portraits of emblematic buildings related to the Road to Santiago. This exhibition will be taken later to Sala Amós Salvador de Logroño, Centro de Arte Caja de Burgos and Dombergmuseum Freising.

Vicente Blanco
30th September - 14th December. Ground floor. Vicente Blanco (Santiago de Compostela, 1974) will present his latest x{2013} vídeos, wall-paintings, photos and drawingsx{2013} production at CGAC, where one can observe the influence of contemporary icons, withdrawn from publicity and television. By means of animation he reconstructs daily situations with a strong narrative component. The exhibition will be taken later to the Espacio Uno at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, in Madrid.

Teresa Hubbard e Alexander Birchler. Eight
30th September - 14th December. Double Space. Teresa Hubbard (Dublin, Ireland, 1965) and Alexander Birchler (Baden, Switzerland, 1962) stem from cinema and literature as references in order to build up narrative stories on daily situations. Some of the main features of their work, such as the psychological and metaphoric tone, are observable in the video Eight, made in 2001, which will be presented at CGAC together with ten photographs. The works belong to CGAC's Collection.

João Onofre. Nothing Will Go Wrong
30th September - 10th December. Basement Floor. João Onofre (Lisbon, Portugal, 1976) pertains to the most recent generation of Portuguese artists. Since the early years of his career, he has focused on video, producing works that study the behaviour of individuals in the processes of representation and actuation, triggering a tension that takes us by surprise due to the unpredictability of their actions. He will present a selection of his latest video-creations at CGAC, conceived from 2000 to 2003.

Marina Abramovic . Student Body
29th September - November. Auditorium. Marina Abramovic (Belgrade, 1946) is one of the most important performance artists. On the occasion of the workshop Cleaning the House, organised by CGAC in 2002, we had the idea of publishing the book Marina Abramovic . Student Body in collaboration with the publishing house Charta. After the presentation of the book, dedicated to the students who participated in the workshops, Abramovic will show us the most surprising productions of some of them.
