Chetwynd’s art practice spans a variety of media, including installation, performance, film and painting. The artist’s work is famously playful and effervescent, mixing the glamorous, grotesque and nightmarish. Chetwynd and her performers hand-fabricate costumes, masks, props and set designs, often from recycled materials, embracing a DIY aesthetic. She invites visitors to take part in collaborative projects bursting the conventional boundaries between artists, artwork and audience.

CC Create is Copenhagen Contemporary’s new exhibition format, where art and creativity melt together. Inspired by the building’s history as a former atelier for the Royal Danish Theatre’s set painters, the 800-square-meter Hall 4 is transformed into an artistic laboratory. Here, both children and adults can play, experiment, and become co-creators of art.

Monster Chetwynd is the first artist in the series, launching CC Create with an installation that encourages the audience to dare to embrace the monster – and perhaps discover a new side of themselves in the process.

…CC Create is much more than an exhibition. It is also:

• Creative workshop for CC’s guests of all ages, guided by our skilled hosts and freely accessible throughout opening hours. The workshop is developed by Monster Chetwynd especially for CC. We now welcome you to a gathering of moths and butterflies, where you can create your own unique day- or night-butterfly and let it become part of the growing swarm. Together with creations from other guests, your contribution will inspire future imaginative and creative moths and butterflies and become a central part of Monster Chetwynd’s universe.
• Crea Crea – The School of Art & Strength, a new after-school program every Thursday for children aged 7-11. Read more here.
• Educational programs in creativity, available for booking by school classes. Find more information here.
• Workshops in creativity and innovation for businesses and other groups.

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee access or space for large groups of more than 12 people in the creative workshop in Hall 4. Out of consideration for other visitors, we kindly ask larger groups to split into smaller units. If you would like to take part in a creative workshop in the exhibition, you can book teaching sessions and workshops here.
