Fondé en 1974, le Centre d’Art Contemporain est installé depuis 1989 dans l'ancienne usine qui abrite également le MAMCO.

A travers ses expositions temporaires, il veut faciliter la production de nouvelles oeuvres, sans pour autant pratiquer de politique d'acquisition. Le Centre a accueilli, pour la première fois à Genève et souvent même en Suisse, des artistes qui ont été ensuite reconnus au niveau international (comme récemment Pipilotti Rist, Kiki Smith ou Tony Oursler). Un espace est consacré à la présentation de jeunes artistes genevois et suisses.

Le Centre veut présenter les idées et les thèmes les plus actuels dans le domaine de l'art contemporain ainsi que favoriser une vision humaniste de la création artistique en présentant des travaux, réalisés selon différents modes d'expression, qui questionnent notre civilisation. Pour atteindre ces objectifs, il organise aussi de nombreux événements (performances, conférences, etc.).

Extrait de "Genève, Musées et Centres d'art"

Founded in 1974, the Centre of Contemporary Art has been located since 1989 in the former factory which also houses the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MAMCO).

Through its temporary exhibitions its purpose is to encourage the production of new work, although not with 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 at 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. To achieve these goals, it also organizes numerous events (performances, lectures, etc.)
