Artsy, a global art platform, has announced a list of 10 galleries that had a breakout year in 2024 despite the challenging global economic conditions. Among 10 galleries, N/A Gallery, a Korean gallery located in Euljiro, Seoul, was featured.

Founded in 2018, N/A Gallery is run by photographers Jin Oh and Jinwoo Park and has been known for its experimental exhibitions showcasing the works of promising young artists. Additionally, N/A has gained prominence in the domestic and international art scenes by participating in major international art fairs.

Artsy described N/A as having "quickly made a name for itself in Seoul’s fast-moving gallery scene with its eclectic and multidisciplinary programming." Artsy also highlighted N/A’s active expansion beyond Korea since last year.

In September, London tastemaker Ginny on Frederick presented the group exhibition at N/A in Seoul. In October, it hosted an exhibition of works by Muyeong Kim at Frieze No. 9 Cork Street in London. Later that month, it also participated in Paris Internationale with a two-person presentation featuring Jiyoon Chung and Muyeong Kim. The year was capped off with an appearance at Art Collaboration Kyoto later that month, featuring work by Chung, Hardy Hill, and Jeman Seo.

Other galleries featured on the list include Megan Mulrooney (Los Angeles), Nonaka-Hill (Los Angeles, Kyoto), Brunette Coleman (London), NIKA Project Space (Paris, Dubai), Cerrado Galeria (Brasília, Goiânia; Brazil), Carvalho Park (Brooklyn, NY), Mia Karlova Galerie (Amsterdam), Saatchi Yates (London), and Loft Art Gallery (Marrakech, Casablanca; Morocco).
