VI PER Gallery

Prague, Czech Republic

VI PER Gallery focuses on architecture in the broadest sense, together with its relations and points of intersection with contemporary art, urbanism, design and media, as well as the political, legal, social, economic and ecological contexts which help to shape architecture and the built environment. The exhibition’s topics explore social issues in a broader sense and their relationship with architecture and art. Our objective is to highlight the great potential that architecture and art have within society and to generate topics that represent new connections and impulses. VI PER Gallery thus provides space for interdisciplinary research and discussion. Part of the gallery space is a bookstore focused on architecture.
