Brutus Space presents the 2nd edition of a Wild Summer of Art featuring work by 50 Rotterdam-based contemporary artists and a dynamic public program of events, screenings and performances. This year's edition is guest-curated by Amira Gad in collaboration with Sophie de Vos. The participating artists were selected from a long-list of creatives nominated by a select group of scouts who are well-versed with Rotterdam's art scene.

Official opening July 12th
The evening will be filled with performances and music by RAAR (initiated by Joshua Thies), 4x4, Jeanine Verloop, Le Motat and The Low G court. Also we will have our first Brutus Takeover together with Print Night Out.
