For the 2nd time ATTRACTION OF THE OPPOSITES brings together 10 international galleries to co-exist under one roof in a curated exhibition. Attraction of the opposites centers the body and examines the multiple layers around it as they are shaped by the social structures that confront it. The exhibition explores concepts such as individuality, identity and the group, experience versus meaning.

The exhibition –curated by Kiki Petratou- showcases new work of 17 artists working mainly in the fields of video-art and installation. Participating artists: Wietse Eeken, Dwight Marica, Alexis Milne, Hans van der Ham, Midas Zwaan, Rob van der Hoeven, Tjalling Visser, Marie-Louise Elshout, Joris Kuipers, Harm Weistra & Eddi Bal, Yasser Ballemans,
Katharina D. Martin, Marcel Niehoff, Kavecs Projects (Vana Kostayola & Kostis Stafylakis), Kiki Petratou, Fotini Gouseti, Christina Calbari.
