Poland, Warsaw

Friend of a Friend is based on the idea of sharing exhibition space by the local galleries with their foreign partners. As a result, intriguing juxtapositions of works by Polish and foreign artists are created and new relationships between galleries are established. The aim of the project is to forge a model of contemporary art presentation which would complement art fairs and the effective networking of Polish artists, gallerists and curators. FOAF creates an opportunity for the local audience to experience the works of foreign artists, which, in many cases, have not been exhibited in Poland so far.

Owing to the joint initiative of founders and organizers of FOAF, the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw and the Friends of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, the Friends’ Art Prize was created. The award allows the acquisition of a selected work presented within the Warsaw edition of FOAF, for the collection of the Museum of Modern Art. Thanks to the support of Helena Czernecka and the involvement of the Friends of the Museum, the awarding of the Friends’ Art Prize will be possible once again.
