A.M.180 gallery
Prague, Czech Republic
www.am180.org
A.M.180 is an independent creative and promotional collective based on DIY principles and punk ethics. Since September 2003, A.M.180 has been running the same-titled multifunctional space in Prague, the Czech Republic. Main mission: a platform for contact between the independent music scene and contemporary art scene. A.M.180 arranges exhibitions, live shows and performances, and from October 2007 also has its own record label, AMDISCS.
Dramaturgy is provided under Jakub Hošek (finalist of Jindrich Chalupecky art price 2005 and 2007) and Anežka Hošková - both visual artists, and anthropologist Štepán Bolf. These people got together to secure their own space, for their friends and supporters, and all the people that are not satisfied with the contemporary art and mainstream music scene in the Czech Republic.
Exhibitions in both rooms of the gallery space usually last for three weeks, which enables their fast interchange. The gallery does not have any financial resources and during the realisation they trade on DIY canon.
