Centre for Contemporary Art
< rotor > is a center for contemporary art located in Graz, Austria. We communicate contemporary art to a broad public, focusing on artistic works that explicitly deal with the social, political, ecological and economic questions of the present day.
Promoting cooperation and networked action are essential elements of the < rotor > philosophy. This concerns networking efforts within the art field but also means acting beyond the boundaries of art by involving people and organisations from different backgrounds in the programming.
The search for satisfactory methods of collaboration and possibilities of participation in artistic processes for the public in general or for specific target audiences is another main focus.
For < rotor >, the public space is an important setting to make art happen. Leaving the boundaries of the art space is used to actively bring people into contact with art and thus to expand the audience.

The exhibition foregrounds emotions as a tensioned field shaped by today’s multicrisis and increasingly polarised political climate. It responds to a situation in which systemic extraction, political manipulation, and enforced self-repression collide with our basic need for fulfilment, happiness, and hope.
The presented artworks reflect on the shaping of emotional maturity through upbringing, education, and social norms, while mapping ways of managing anxiety, nurturing empathy, overcoming loss, and resisting hostile forces. Together, they articulate the urgency of collective healing, mutual care, and sustaining hope in uncertain times—while recognising the quiet resilience that persists through small, everyday gestures that surface in the system’s cracks.
