One is never exhaustive when faced with the task of bringing to the public the wide-ranging work of a unique artist who devoted a lifetime to the creation of a singular work that is the creation of a whole world. The intention of this exhibition is to immerse us in this world - rich in nuances and registers that in no way detract from the unity of the whole. This exhibition is more than deserved and has been long awaited.
We have already had the ODA Philatelic Association in other occasions. On this occasion, and when it is one hundred and forty years since the death of the poet and playwright from Chiclana -forty years since that well known and remembered centenary in the eighties-, the members of the association, using philately and collecting in general, will bring us closer to that commemoration and to the figure and work of García Gutiérrez.

THE ANTIQUITY. A LOOK FROM CHILDHOOD
CEIP JOSÉ DE LA VEGA
We had the opportunity to see first hand the interesting work -transversal- that a group of students from CEIP "José de la Vega" have been developing on various topics. A multidisciplinary work that, when finished, reminds us of a room, for example, in a museum or an interpretation center. It seemed so close to what we do here that we said to ourselves "why not here? And here it is, fresh from the oven, the work resulting from the fresh look of these students on Antiquity.

CATHEDRALS
OIL PAINTINGS OF DIVINE LIGHT
FRANCISCO PLAZUELO JIMÉNEZ
Behind the work of Francisco Plazuelo, master glazier, there is much more than just craft. Underlying his work is a passion for light, which is the light that enters through the eyes, yes, but also another light. A deep reflection on the light - natural or supernatural - founds this original sample that combines oil and stained glass, light in the end, making the viewer, in the words of Jesus Serrano "participant in a reality, almost ethereal, mysticism and spirituality.

REFLECTS
AGUSTÍN PÉREZ CASTIÑEIRA
We have already spoken about Cherbuy's own world, and we must insist on it again. A unique work, novel in its conception and in the procedural also, the one that offers in this exhibition of the sculptor Agustín Pérez Castiñeira that combines the originality of the concept with the plastic quality of his singular work. A sample of his world that includes express winks to our town and its surroundings. See, think, enjoy,...

CHICLANA FROM SANTA ANA
Viewpoint from time immemorial, chiclanera watchtower par excellence, from the summit of Santa Ana we have been able - through the practically global vision that allows us - to observe the growth of our city. It is not surprising that, more or less from this place, the view of the first representation of Chiclana that we conserve was taken. A series of photographs will show us the progressive transformation of the city.
13.- from 17th July to 29th September
NOBODY
PORTRAITS FOR POSTERITY
Although it seems at times playful, this exhibition - where seriousness and smiles are not at odds - proposes a lucid reflection on the desire for posterity. Portraits of perfect strangers that cross the centuries alternate with mirrors or ostentatious empty frames. It is also, of course, an opportunity to enjoy a stupendous exhibition of portraits. Many perspectives are possible.

REENCOUNTER
ENGRAVINGS BY JUAN CANDÓN AND PREMIEZLAW TZICKIEWICZ
Engraving is not very present in our exhibition spaces -the ones right here and around- and a few years ago we made the commitment to deal with it. Juan Candón, who was -with good reason- our special guest a few years ago at the exhibition "Masters of Contemporary Engraving", returns now with a larger sample of his work. And he does so in the company of the great Polish master Premiezlaw Tzickiewicz. Both artists will have previously shared space in Poland as well.
15.- from september 24 to november 24
MUSIC THROUGH THE EYES
ART AND ROCK
In contrast to the Hebrew culture, the Greek and Roman culture, to which we are also - and very much - indebted, was a culture with a marked visual character. If even food enters -or not- through the eyes, why not music? Paco López proposes a visual tour -marketing and much more than marketing- through great works of music through the creations of great artists who illustrated the covers of, for example, well-known rock albums.

NATURAE HUMANAE
EDUARDO MARTÍNEZ
La aportación de Eduardo Martínez al área de Cultura de nuestra ciudad se remonta a muchos años atrás, cuando al parecer aún era sólo un estudiante universitario. Pero ya entonces supimos ver y, disfrutando del presente-pasado, nos pusimos a esperar. Después de otras muchas colaboraciones -también en el Museo- el artista vuelve en solitario para mostrar su obra más madura en esta coherente exposición donde investiga y dice sobre lo que somos solos o "en compañía de otros". Impactante.
17.- del 10 de septiembre al 3 de noviembre
MARY SHELLEY Y FRANKENSTEIN
Programada para el verano de 2018 -año en el que se celebraba el bicentenario de la publicación de "Frankenstein"-, la exposición parecía especialmente interesante para la comunidad educativa. Por eso, cinco años después, hemos decidido retomarla para ofrecer al público durante el curso escolar esta muestra que nos habla de esta portentosa creación del Romanticismo, una de las obras más vivas y actuales de este movimiento, y de su autora, Mary Shelley.
18.- from November 13
OTHER CHRISTMAS PRINTS
CHRISTMAS IN THE ENGRAVING
To the thread of the Christmas Holidays the Museum of Chiclana will offer an interesting sample of engravings of Christmas thematic made throughout the centuries. Some compositions were conceived ad hoc to be engraved; others, on the other hand, transfer to engraving masterpieces of painting that, through these prints, reached diffusion. A journey through the theme, yes, but also a journey -for engraving lovers- through different techniques or procedures in the world of engraving.

THE STORY BEHIND THE STORIES
IN THE DRAMAS OF GARCÍA GUTIÉRREZ
Historicism inspired a multitude of works in the 19th century. Music, painting, literature were nourished by History and, with greater or lesser fidelity, returned to it -characters, events,...- over and over again. Romanticism did not escape from this -quite the contrary-. Among the works of García Gutiérrez, we find a good number of historical dramas. This exhibition is about the real characters that support his dramatic fictions.
20.- from december 13
COMICS: A READING GUIDE
The vast knowledge that Agu Ariza has about this subject, makes him the perfect guide for us to enter, by his hand, into the world of comics. With this exhibition, which we had in mind for some years, the Museum of Chiclana bets to give space in its rooms to artistic expressions that, incomprehensibly, are often left out of the museum spaces. And as "science does not take away passion", we enter into the comic of the hand of this master will allow us greater enjoyment.

PEOPLE FROM HERE III
SPORTS
From the hand of Paco Montiel started this series of exhibitions that owes him, apart from the concept, the name of the same. "Gente daquí", which began with a general look at our intimate memory through photography, promised to abound on it later in successive photographic exhibitions. This year it is the turn of the world of sport. And Chiclana has a lot to do in this. We will see it.
