Group Exhibition “HYDORerotics” By The ElementA Art Collective

Opening: Saturday, 31 January 2026 at 18:00

Opening Hours: Thursday & Friday 18:00–21:00 / Saturday & Sunday 12:00–20:00

FokiaNou Art Space is pleased to host the exhibition “HYDORerotics” by the contemporary art collective elementA, continuing its creative trajectory following the group’s recent and successful participation in PLATFORMS PROJECT 2025 at the former Tobacco Factory, with the theme “WATER.” The artists approach water as a fundamental element of life, a carrier of memory and transformation, and a field of philosophical and environmental inquiry. The exhibition unfolds as a contemporary “symposium of ideas,” where water becomes the starting point for questions about the flow of time, the relationship between humans and nature, ecological urgency, and the power of imagination.

With innate curiosity and a passion for possibilities, the HYDORerotics reflect on the fluid element, transforming their answers—or their doubts—into artistic gesture. Through installations, prints, paintings, original techniques, and repurposed materials, the elementA collective composes a multilayered and deeply experiential narrative. The presentation evolves across dark and light spaces, where the natural meets the artificial and the real converses with the imaginary, creating an environment that encourages observation, empathy, and contemplation.

The HYDORerotics propose an experience where art meets philosophy, ecological concern, and the human search for meaning. Visitors are invited to engage in an active dialogue about the planet’s most precious element, to reconsider their own relationship with water, and to rediscover the fluidity that shapes both the world and the self.

FokiaNou Art Space is an active and open hub of artistic creation, fostering collaboration between Greek and international artists. In 2024 it celebrated ten years of continuous presence, having presented—under the curatorship of Panagiotis Voulgaris and Mary Cox—more than 70 group, solo, and interdisciplinary exhibitions, as well as workshops and talks. Its outward-looking character is further strengthened through participation in major international events, such as the TRYST Art Fair at the Torrance Art Museum in Los Angeles, the Athena exhibition in Karlsruhe (2025), and the SuperMarket Independent Art Fair in Stockholm (2023, 2019), contributing to the networking of independent art spaces and the development of a wider international collaborative community.
