The
second AFROdisiac happened on August 25, 2000 at an industrial warehouse
in Bertrams, Johannesburg. The Exhibition was called 'Exhibit X'. The theme was
erotica. The exhibition included eight different visual artists, (working in mediums
such as photography, drawings and paintings), and seven different performance
pieces. AFROdisiac events are a one night affair. 'Exhibit X' attracted approximately
250 guests. Although there were more visual artists than performance artists,
the performances were the main focus, and included rap, dance, bands, spoken word,
drumming, and a live underwear model shoot for OUTRIGHT Magazine. There were also
controversial T-shirts with a photo of a man's penis for sale (designed by
Clifford Charles). 'Sextopia,' an adult erotic shop also got involved with
a display of dildos, sexual enhancers and condoms.

 Clifford Charles also created an installation piece. He used metal constructions and then placed white plastic over them. He wanted to create a quiet space that people could walk into within the exhibition space. |  Inside the installation piece were different lip collages on a blue background. |
