The exhibition will include a section showing works that six Chinese artists will make during residence at the museum, centering on issues that include protection of the marine environment and consumption behavior.

Another highlight of the exhibition will be a review of contemporary art in Greece, which is slated to be the guest-of-honor country at the exhibition. This part will feature works created since the 1970s by some 20 Greek artists,  to conduct a dialog with the audience about the history and cultural traditions of the East and the West, and to look to the future.
