* * * * * * * * * * * * * * Cultural Friendship: This is what < rotor
> calls long-term cooperation with befriended organisations; in this case
it is NOS in Bologna—Amicizia culturale! It started with curatorial research,
followed by artist residencies and a student project.
In the exhibition with contributions by artists from Bologna / Italy,
and Graz / Austria, lines of connection between the works unfold, tipping
points and discontinuities become perceptible. The potential is inherent
in the artworks to give shape to the step into the unknown in the search
for new experiences and insights that the present—every present—needs.
The narrative title of the project is inspired by the theatre innovator
and writer Antonin Artaud.
Curated by: Elisa Del Prete, Silvia Litardi, Iris Kasper,
Anton Lederer, Magarethe Makovec
