Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art is a house for artists. The purpose of the house is to create exhibitions which are selected and produced by artists, and thereby differ from other contemporary art exhibitions. Due to the democratic and artist run structure, Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art is supposed to function as an experimental exhibition forum. The purpose of the democratic decision making process is to ensure an artistic, multifarious and qualitative, forward thinking exhibition profile.
The profile of Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art is in the field of tension between tradition and innovation. It means that the house is both supposed to be open to the traditional artists’ unions and to display unconventional art experiments. In terms of all practising artists, the task of Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art is to constitute a forum for artistic divergence. At the same time Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art has the task of identifying contemporary art practises which have not necessarily reached the attention of the general public, the museums or the more commercial art scene.
