			Nanjido·Meta-Vox 40: All that is solid melts into air  is organized in anticipation of the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Total Museum of Contemporary Art, attempting to overlay readings of the 1980s—a formative period for the art institution—with the rapidly changing present. To this end, contemporary curators and researchers collaborate to reexamine the activities of the Nanjido and Meta-Vox groups, which led the experimental currents of Korean contemporary art in the 1980s. Through the declarations and practices of artists at that time, and their subsequent ongoing work, it explores how art has forged new languages between the institution and reality. Focusing on the possibilities of art newly emerging from ‘where solidity has melted away,’ we anticipate the unfolding of a forum for discussion to explore the museum beyond the museum.
