The exhibition, made up of some 250 works, is a reflection of the variety of visual proposals that characterizes the CAAC collection. “Each work in the collection challenges me and has required careful reading. I must understand its message and its context,” says the curator Alberto García-Alix. The selected authors are completely different from each other, although complementary: Cristina García Rodero, María Cañas, Pierre Gonnord, Agustín Parejo School, Ana Mendieta, Lotty Rosenfeld, Rogelio López Cuenca, Nan Goldin, Valie Export, Carrie Mae Weems or the AFAL collective, among many others.

Among the works on display, for the first time at the CAAC, you can see ten photomontages by Antonio Gálvez, created between 1976-1979, called Antonio Gálvez and the decomposition of myths. “The collection is a mirror where we can look at ourselves in the multiple facets of our life and society. We see the metropolis, the politics, the social landscape and the human. There is inclusion and tolerance, radicality and feminism,” García-Alix highlights.

“Alberto has faced the challenge of opening the lens to capture diversity and establish a coherent energy that nourishes and mixes the pieces of the exhibition. […], with this carte blanche, he has judged worlds, actions and plasticities, ordering, measuring and adjusting elements to give this selection its own identity,” says Jimena Blázquez Abascal, director of the Andalusian Center for Contemporary Art.
