CAC Málaga

La versión español está después de la primera foto.

CAC MÁLAGA. IT stands for Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Málaga (Málaga Center for Contemporary Art). The acronym sounds more like a cartoon exclamation to me. Like "Ack!" But that's not what I thought when I saw the museum and its collection.

CAC is housed in the former Wholesale Market Building which was designed in 1927 and constructed in 1939. Although, in my opinion, the exterior and plaza could use a bit of refreshing (the museum opened in 2003), it's a wonderful, large, triangular space that's perfect for contemporary art.

I'm ashamed to tell you I didn't make note of most of the artists whose work I've shared here. CAC! I mean... Ack!



CAC MÁLAGA. El acrónimo significa Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Málaga. A mí me parece más una exclamación de dibujos animados. Como "¡Ack"! Pero eso no es lo que pensé cuando vi el museo y su colección. 

CAC está ubicado en el antiguo Mercado de Mayoristas que fue diseñado en 1927 y construido en 1939. Aunque, en mi opinión, el exterior y la plaza podrían ser un poco refrescantes (el museo abrió en 2003), es un espacio maravilloso, grande y triangular, perfecto para el arte contemporáneo.


Me da vergüenza decirte que no tomé nota de la mayoría de los artistas cuyo trabajo he compartido aquí. ¿CAC? Quiero decir ... ¡Ack!

  1. I agree -- the exterior needs to be tarted up a bit -- but inside, oh, all that marvelous art!

      The plaza and surrounding area is a bit forlorn. I'd love to see it all dressed up a bit.

  2. What a great space though, yeah, the outside needs a coat of paint at the very least.
    But inside? Oy, such gorgeous things!
    I could use that pseudo disco ball in my house!

      I loved "pseudo disco ball" and a lot of other works there. The exterior of the building could be really beautiful and interesting with some fresh paint.

  3. Yes....a coat of contemporary paint would help from the outside.
    Inside!! What an eclectic selection of things. It is difficult being female in society....at least from this poor gal's perspective.....SO HEAVY the burden.

      When I first entered the exhibit space, it was all one artist and I thought, "OK, but I won't be here long." Then I turned the corner. Wow.

  4. Paint on the outside, yes. I find that the inside is kind of dreary also. Maybe that helps the artwork to stand out more. It is beautiful art.

      Yeah, I don't know about the interior. Thought maybe it was good as an exhibit space, but someone with more expertise (like my cousin who is director of an art museum) would probably know what to do. I think you're right.

      I'll have to start monitoring the special exhibits. I was looking online I clearly recently missed some really fun stuff.

  8. In France, the CAC 40 is a stock market index (Cotation Assistée en Continue). I had to look that up.

      Well, I understand the art a lot better than I understand the stock markt.

      Will start hitting the Málaga museums again in September after the crowds depart. So many more I haven't visited.
