From post-war Paris and New York, through swinging London, to the
free spirits of Tehran and Beijing. Kunsthalle Praha explores the idea of
bohemia.

One year after opening its doors, Kunsthalle Praha, a contemporary
art space in central Prague's Klárov district, presents international,
cross-disciplinary, thematic exhibition Bohemia: History of an Idea, 1950–2000,
guest-curated by Los Angeles based writer and curator Russell Ferguson.
Bohemia brings together artworks by thirty-seven artists, among
them personalities as diverse as Alice Neel, Wolfgang Tillmans, Nan Goldin,
Libuše Jarcovjáková, Bijan Saffari, Martin Wong, Stan Douglas, David
Wojnarowicz, Roy Arden, and many others. Some of these artists will be shown
alongside each other for the first time, and most of them have rarely had their
work exhibited in the Czech Republic.
Spanning the 1950s to the 2000s, the exhibition features work in
various media, with a predominance of photography, video, and painting. The
kaleidoscopic experience ends with the turn of the century, when bohemia –
still a worldwide phenomenon – begins to lose its momentum as a result of
fast-paced societal changes.
