“The Museum as a New Neighbor in the District”

The lecture will open with a short address by H.E. Mr. Mariusz Brymora, Ambassador of the Republic of Poland to Skopje.

Tomasz Fudala, curator, art and architecture historian , one of the founders of the newly built Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw (MSN Warsaw) – an institution that, after nearly two decades of working in temporary spaces, has finally acquired its permanent building in the city center, at Plac Defilad.

In his lecture, Fudala will speak about the development of the museum as an institution, the architecture of the new building, and its relationship to Warsaw’s urban transformation. He will also discuss the Warsaw Under Construction festival, which MSN has organized since 2009 as a platform for critical reflection on the city, space, and urban planning.

The event is supported by the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Skopje and is part of the program of the 22nd Biennial of Macedonian Contemporary Architecture.
