About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

is a centre for contemporary art. Contemporary visual art is always the starting point for our programmes, with an emphasis on art production that explicitly deals with social, political, economical and ecological issues of our time. The public space is a highly significant site for , as a space where we can make art happen in seeking to leave behind the confines of the art space and actively engage people with art and extend our audience. Moreover, a strong focus on cooperation has always been an essential element of the rotor philosophy, as well as acting in networks. The main fields of volunteering activity of are: conceiving and organising art exhibitions; artistic interventions in public space, often involving participatory practices; artist-in-residence programmes; assisting in: organising events (lectures, workshops) & publishing books; keeping and expanding an archive about artists from Austria & Southern Europe.
