New museum in Warsaw
A new contemporary art space has opened in Warsaw on the banks of the Vistula River, which will host exhibitions and events organised by the city’s Museum of Modern Art. The 600 sq. m structure, loaned for free by the Vienna-based Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary (TBA21) foundation, will remain in situ until the museum’s new headquarters open in Plac Defilad in 2020. The new venue, located next to the University of Warsaw library, is called The Museum by the Vistula.
The temporary structure, designed by the Austrian architect Adolf Krischanitz, was installed in the Palast der Republik site in Berlin from 2008 to 2010. The Berlin venue, known as the Temporäre Kunsthalle, hosted 17 exhibitions dedicated to artists such as Simon Starling and Candice Breitz.
