No-Clip Dwelling is the title of the finalists’ exhibition for the second edition of KAF Young Art Prize, which will take place at Krupa Art Foundation in Wrocław. Curated by Natalia Barczyńska and Monika Łuszpak-Skiba, the exhibition will present works by 32 artists selected from 1,668 submissions from 38 countries.

The exhibition explores contemporary experiences of dwelling, memory, and the intersection of physical and virtual realities. The title No-Clip Dwelling refers to a mechanic in video games in which no-clip mode allows players to pass through walls and other obstacles. This serves as a starting point for reflecting on the boundaries between the material and the digital, the personal and the collective, the familiar and the unsettling.

The exhibition will feature works from all three competition categories: painting, digital art, and sculpture, objects, and installations. For the first time, this year’s edition of the competition encompasses all three fields, creating space for a diverse range of artistic practices and approaches.

The KAF Young Art Prize 2026 award ceremony will take place on 6 November 2026. During the event, the three winners will be announced, each receiving an equal prize of €12,000 gross.

The finalists’ exhibition No-Clip Dwelling will be on view at Krupa Art Foundation in Wrocław.
