3x3 Czech Contemporary Art in Berlin with Hošek Contemporary

Czech Contemporary Art in Berlin with Hošek Contemporary


This time we present with Czech Contemporary Art in Berlin not an
artist, but a Czech gallery owner. Petr Hošek, founder of Hošek
Contemporary, relocated to Berlin in 2014 and opened a little
gallery in Berlin-Mitte, close to the theatre Volksbühne. In 2018
he moved to a special place - an old freighter, where his gallery
Hošek Contemporary still resides. Petr Hošek was born in 1988 in
the Czech republic, he studied art history and the theory of art
in Prague and Madrid before he received his MA at Charles’
University in Prague. His MA thesis explored a possibility of
presenting Post-Internet Art within the Physical Gallery Spaces.
After curatorial residency in New York City with Residency
Unlimited in 2012, he worked in cooperation with Prague based
gallery Futura and later he co-founded Gallery Plevel which
focused on presenting on-line art in a refurbished 19th century
industrial space.


After his move to Berlin in 2014 he founded the gallery Hošek
Contemporary, which we focus on in our talk, this time in
English.

Instagram or in this Short End Podcast.
