A contemporary art gallery dedicated to promote the artists living in the Middle East.

Contemporary art in North Africa and the Middle East has always sought to redefine boundaries, social norms, and personal identity. The no/mad utopia gallery creates a unique platform for artists in the MENA region, where each project becomes a bold statement that opens up a dialogue with global cultural trends. Support for artists here goes beyond the usual exhibition: exhibitions and international fairs become a way to show the richness of regional creativity to the world. Interest in new technologies and modern forms of payment is becoming an equally important aspect of the contemporary cultural experience. Today, digital solutions such as the ability to purchase Paysafecard via SMS in Austria open up access to a variety of online services and gambling sites Erwerb von Prepaid-Vouchern via Mobiltelefon, combining convenience and security.
