CC Studio

CC Studio is our new learning initiative on our 1st floor with workshops, exhibitions and rooms for contemplation and relaxation. CC Studio id synonymous with the facilities, activities and learning programmes that Copenhagen Contemporary offers children and young people as well as adults. The idea behind CC Studio is to present contemporary art in innovative ways where learning and reflection on the world happen through a physical and dialogue-based encounter with art. Every year we invite a recognised international artist to create a site-specific total installation for CC Studio. The exhibition aims to unite art and play in a physical and aesthetic experience. There will be a chance to touch, move about in, examine and use the exhibition, thereby activating body, eye and mind. Read more about CC Studio here. CC Studio is supported by: Ole Kirks Fond, Salling Fondene and Elsass Fonden.  

Art is Life

In CC’s new hall 4 the Swedish artist Jacob Dahlgren presents the exhibition Art is Life. It unfolds like a playscape comprising large-scale sculptural installations co-created by CC’s visitors. The exhibition title, Art is Life, refers to the way Dahlgren observes and involves everyday life in his artistic practice. His materials are often sourced from DIY stores, supermarkets, or ironmonger shops – places he often visits. Art is Life juxtaposes utility objects such as saws, bathroom scales, and dartboards in huge numbers for his serial works. When repeated, they are robbed of their original practical functions, instead becoming geometric abstract colourful works taking their form from the shapes of the objects. With his works, Jacob Dahlgren enters into a long art-historical tradition of using readymades where he adds everyday objects to his works as humorous touches and a way to link art with everyday life. In the largest installation in the exhibition I, The World, Things, Life, visitors are invited to throw darts at a gigantic wall plastered in dartboards. Another example is a work made up of more than three hundred bathroom scales placed on the floor, so that visitors can see the figures see-sawing on the displays when walking from one to the next. Being part of his work Peinture Abstraite, taking the form of an online autobiography on Instagram and Tumblr, Dahlgren photographs himself every day wearing a striped T-shirt and shares it digitally. The exhibition at CC gives children and adults the opportunity to take photos of themselves wearing striped T-shirts and everyone is welcome to share the portrait on social media or hang it on a white wall in the exhibition. Art is Life invites visitors to become co-creators of the works and the art experience and, in a double movement, Dahlgren draws everyday utility objects into the exhibition space while also bringing his art outside the institutional context and, on a daily basis, creates works which he presents on digital and social media.

Jacob Dahlgren

Jacob Dahlgren (b.1970) lives and works in Stockholm where he was educated at the Royal Institute of Fine Art in 1999. His works are often colourful, involving the audience, and take as their point of departure a playful approach to art and life. His sculptural practice is minimalistic but will often have an interactive or performative element. Earlier exhibitions include: Andréhn-Schiptjenko, Stockholm (2009, 2013, 2019), Museum Ritter, Sammlung Marli Hoppe-Ritter, Waldenbuch (2017); MAGASIN – Centre National d’Art Contemporain, Grenoble (2016); KIASMA Museum of Contemporary Art, Helsinki (2013, 2011, 2010); Henry Art Gallery, Seattle (2010, 2013); Gallery 400, University of Illinois, Chicago (2012); Fundació Joan Miró, Barcelona (2010); Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt (2011); the Daimler Art Collection, Berlin (2010); Forum d’Art Contemporain Luxemburg (2010); Bielefelder Kunstverein (2009); Turner Contemporary, Margate, the UK (2009); the 52nd Venice Biennale (2007); P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center/MoMA, New York (2006); Kunsthalle Budapest (2006); October salon, Belgrade (2006); Moderna Museet, Stockholm (2006).
