One cannot exist without the other: conversations on interconnected dualities.

What is duality? How can we connect the dots of two things that have opposite meanings? In this exhibition the young artists explore the dualities we all work with on a daily basis. The exhibition With/Out is independently initiated by a group of 2nd and 3rd year Fine Arts students from the Autonoom and Painting & Printmaking department of the KABK (Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten).

When our current world is a mix and match of personalities and opinions, we find a way to search for what connects us, rather than divides us. There are references to Artificial Intelligence, human emotions, cultural artefacts, memories, and personal archives. Moreover, each room also engages a conversation between the artists and their works. This variety of subjects, though seemingly scattered at first, reflects the diversity of a group of artists in a globalized community. From installations, expressive paintings, to vibrant tapestries, confronting video work, and synthetic sculptures.

As a collective exhibition, With/Out brings the attention to an on-going dialogue. This will also be brought on publicly during a Q&A event for The Hague Contemporary, on July 11.
