It was a feast for the eyes of anyone interested in contemporary art and the hottest cultural trends: an exhibition of works from forty-four art galleries located on three continents. For five days—May 15 to May 19—an exhibition of contemporary Polish and international art took place inside the expansive, neo-baroque Villa Gawroński in Warsaw.
A neon sign hanging from a balcony—Full Moon Empty Stomach by Romanian artist Flaviu Cacoveanu—welcomed guests entering the exhibition. Lying around the garden were aluminum astronauts by Paweł Althamer. Inside the villa, artworks by Weronika Gęsicka, Xawery Wolski, Aleksandra Waliszewska, Yuri Ancarani, Gvantsa Jishkariani, Santiago de Paoli, and Ciprian Mureșan, among others filled the rooms. In the spirit of partnership and community, galleries from across the globe were teamed in pairs to present their artworks together in one space.
Independent art galleries from Vilnius, Stockholm, Tbilisi, Milano, Kyiv (temporarily based in Miami), New York, Berlin, and Tokyo presented their artworks during the exhibition, organized by the New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA), a non-profit institution promoting new voices in the art world for more than twenty years.
The Warsaw edition was curated by Michał Kaczyński from the Raster Gallery, Marta Kołakowska from the LETO Gallery, and Joanna Witek-Lipka from Warsaw Gallery Weekend. It was the last European stop for NADA before the debut of The Salon, its latest fair in partnership with The Community, which will take place October 17 to 20 during Paris Art Week.
