Centre for Contemporary Art Geneva

Founded in 1974, the Centre for Contemporary Art has been located since 1989 in the former factory which also houses the MAMCO.

Through its temporary exhibitions its purpose is to encourage the production of new works, although not in the aim of acquiring them.

The Centre has been the first institution in Geneva, and often also in Switzerland, to welcome artists who would later be acclaimed on an international level (recently these include Pipilotti Rist, Kiki Smith and Tony Oursler). One exhibition area is devoted to the presentation of young artists from Geneva and other parts of Switzerland.

The Centre aims to present only the latest ideas and themes in the sphere of contemporary art, while promoting a humanist vision of artistic creativity by presenting works that - through different modes of expression - question our civilisation.
