Jacob Dahlgren, whose exhibition Art is Life is currently showing at CC, introduces children, young people, and others to his work methods and practice in the CC Studio workshop. Dahlgren works with everyday materials, repetitions, and systems. For this open workshop, Dahlgren will be offering visitors inspiration to invent their own systems and to paint posters using colours and patterns for wordless communication.

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.

CC Studio

is CC's learning initiative on the 1st floor with workshops, exhibitions and rooms for contemplation and relaxation. CC Studio is 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 CC invites a recognised international artist to create a site-specific playscape 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.
