nca is pleased to announce their annual group exhibition “nca selection Vol.3”. 

nca has been introducing both domestic and foreign contemporary art since 2002, particularly focusing on video works and photography. Since 2008, we have started an annual group exhibition titled “nca selection” which presents a wider diversity of genres of contemporary art. 

“nca selection Vol.3”, the first featured exhibition at nca | nichido contemporary art in 2010, concerns contemporary environmental issues surrounding us and our social responsibility. Focusing on several artists representative of nca | nichido contemporary art as well as other international ones, the show attempts to expose those problems with which we are confronted in this present age, collective memories of the past, and questions for the future from various viewpoints/approaches of the artists who use different mediums such as video work, painting, photography and mixed media.
We would be grateful if the viewer could hear their voices through their works and take steps towards making our future brighter. We very much appreciate your participation in the exhibition.
