ArtEvol 2024 (H1) ROTOR The 3rd International Art Exhibition
The exhibition title, ROTOR , is derived from engineering and refers to a rotating body supported by an axle bearing, embodying a spirit of renewal and iteration. The exhibition explores the philosophical dimension of the term ‘rotor’ as the etymological root of ‘revolve’, framing it as a metaphor for the renewal and iteration of ideas and the ongoing evolution of thought. Artistic concepts are in constant evolution, much like the continuous rotation of a machine’s components, rendering the creative process irreversible from one era to the next. Within this ideological shift, a dialogue between the contemporary and the conventional emerges in the context of the Louvre, forming the shared vision of the exhibition. In an increasingly diverse global culture, the exhibition ROTOR – The Carrousel du Louvre Contemporary Art Exhibition 2024 presents a collective image of the current era, placing art within a broader context. It aims to re-examine the fundamental essence of art, challenge prevailing conceptions and modes of appreciation in the public sphere, dismantle hierarchical systems, and open up new possibilities. The term ‘ROTOR’ also suggests how new waves and cyclical methodological shifts give rise to emerging genres, emphasising that only through forward movement can we perceive an unpredictable future.
