The Centre for Contemporary Culture Strozzina
(CCCS), part of the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi in Florence, was created
as platform for the different approaches and practices that characterise
the production of contemporary art and culture.
The basic approach of the Centro di Cultura Contemporanea Strozzina
(hereafter CCCS) is to develop a multiyear programme which harnesses
both local and international networks. This means not only developing
thematic exhibitions to be held during the year but also inviting independent
curators and institutions to propose exhibitions, series of videos and
films, workshops, performances and lectures to be hosted at the centre
on a regular basis.
The exhibition space is located in the recently restored spaces under
the magnificent courtyard of Palazzo Strozzi – known as ‘La
Strozzina’ – which previously housed the cellars of this
Renaissance monument, and which hosted Florence’s most important
international exhibitions in the years after the Second World War until
the flood of 1966. The Centre comprises eleven rooms of different sizes,
approx. 850 square metres.
The challenge posed by the Renaissance architecture of Palazzo Strozzi
for contemporary art is taken as a stimulus to stage each new event
and project as though in a theatre, constantly pursuing new possibilities
of artistic communication and presentation.
