“N/World” is a group exhibition of 14 artists, held to celebrate the 1st anniversary of the opening of MtK Contemporary Art.

It has been 2 years since we face the new reality, the reality which we build relationships on screen and connect to each other remotely, has pushed forward the detachment from physically facing the usual, familiar sceneries of everyday life. This new, unusual reality will eventually be normalized without us realizing it, making irreversible changes on our daily customs and perceptions.

Through the 1st anniversary exhibition, we would like to point out and look back on the relationships between people and materials, physical imaginations and practices, and a perspective on care and repairment while in the change of our history. The exhibition also makes us wonder on how this recent change in environment brings forth the balance or discord of this world, and how it appears on artworks.
The artworks of 14 artists resonate with the possibilities in the time of fluidity and uncertainty.
