Contemporary Czech Art in Berlin with Alice Máselníková

In the 28th issue of Contemporary Czech Art in Berlin, we talk to
the visual artist and cultural organizer Alice Máselníková.


Alice Máselníková (b. 1989, Zlín, Czech Republic) is a visual
artist, and an organizer of various artist-run initiatives based

In her artistic practice which includes painting and writing, she

fragility of internal experiences and its external manifestation.

play took place in June in TOP project space in Berlin, and at
the moment she is preparing her next solo exhibition in Frankfurt
am Main at gallery Eulengasse opening on 2 September as well as
