From the beginning of this year until now, South Korea has received significant global attention with their current events such as Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and renewed dialogue with North Korea. Acknowledging this urge to blur territorial and cultural boundaries, there seems to be an increased tendency in Korea to promote social and cultural activities that help citizens re-think the concept of “boundary.”

Within this changing context, National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) Seoul is currently holding exhibition <How Little You Know About Me> as the first project of MMCA’s 2018-19 exhibition series about the keyword ‘Asia’. The exhibition explores the new ways of understanding and re-imagining ‘Asia’ through which enable us to develop new perspectives of perceiving the world.
