About

Contemporary Collage Art (CCA) is a permanent exhibition located in Viborg, Denmark that celebrates some of the best artists working in contemporary collage today. It houses a carefully curated selection of the most vital work to come out of the art form, pushing the boundaries of a medium that is fast becoming an art movement in its own right. This ever-growing collection aims to capture the spirit of the radical resurgence that has taken place in collage over the last 15 years.

The artists Sergei Sviatchenko and James Springall have teamed up to put on a cutting-edge group exhibition of contemporary collage art. Tribute to Viborg, 1018 – 2018will celebrate the 1000-year history of one of the oldest cities in Denmark. A selection of internationally acclaimed contemporary artists, which use collage as part of their practice, have been invited to create an original piece of work loosely based on the city.

The work created in Tribute to Viborg, 1018 – 2018 will go on to form the basis of The Museum of Contemporary Collage Art that Sviatchenko and Springall have established in Viborg. It will house a carefully curated and ever-growing permanent collection of collage-based artwork, celebrating some of the most vital artists working in contemporary collage today. The art world is experiencing a collage renaissance at present that is
transforming the medium into a radical new art movement in its own right, and The Museum of Contemporary Collage Art aims to capture the spirit of the resurgence that has taken place in collage over the last 15 years.

Sviatchenko is an internationally renowned artist that helped to challenge the world to see collage differently. Widely recognised as one of the pioneers of contemporary collage, he has chosen to operate his entire career from Viborg, where he opened Senko Studio, an acclaimed experimental gallery that has worked with artists such as Yoko Ono.

He has had solo exhibitions around the world and several books of his work have been published.Everything Goes Right & Left If You Want It (Gestalten),is a comprehensive collection of both his collage and painting. Sergei Sviatchenko: Collages (SCHLEBRÜGGE.EDITOR) is the first monograph to focus exclusively on his prolific collage output. Edited by Rick Poynor, a prominent British writer, lecturer and curator, specializing in visual culture, it gathers Sviatchenko’s most significant work from the past 10 years and shows little seen collages from his early years in Ukraine before he moved to live and work in Denmark in 1990.

Springall recently curated The International Weird Collage Show for Jealous Gallery in London, a hugely successful exhibition that received international press from publications such as TimeOut and Wall Street International. His own work has been shown in group exhibitions at the Saatchi Gallery and The Royal Academy of Arts.

‘Tribute to Viborg, 1018 – 2018’
Contemporary Collage Art Exhibition
Curated by James Springall (UK)
22 September – 31 December 2018

The group exhibition ‘Tribute to Viborg, 1018 – 2018’ will be the first work to be exhibited at the CCA, and will form the basis of the permanent exhibition.

As Viborg is celebrating its 1000-year anniversary, we have asked artists we admire to make a piece of collage-based work using at least one image of the town, and Sergei Svaitchenko has created some work that has been placed around Viborg to help promote the show.

July 12th, 2018

The permanent exhibition will be housed in the Old Municipal building in Viborg, Denmark.
