The next episode of the Hidden podcast belongs to Chloé Milos Azzopardi - a French photographer and artist whose exhibition can be seen at Hidden Bořivojova until 27 May. We talked about topics such as finishing work, how to avoid impostor syndrome as an artist or how to cope with rejection, the desire to teach photography or the endless poetry of Andrei Tarkovsky's work.

After a short break, we are back with another episode of the Hidden podcast, this time with Jan Gemrot, a prominent personality of the Czech art scene. We talked with him about his relationship to his old paintings, the (in)need to find motivation to paint, order in the studio, hating openings, and breaking down prejudices against the current generation of young painters.

Impossible has become reality, and so in early January we became the first "medium" to get an audio interview with this inspiring Czech painter, poet, writer, composer and all-round Renaissance man whose works and fascinating story have made an impact on Czech art unprecedented stir on the Czech scene.

We chatted with him about his lifelong fascination with Richard Wagner, the importance of originality, creating in isolation, coming back to himself, the need to cook exactly according to recipes, searching for art on Instagram, and the anxiety of summer and heat.

This year we’ve gone international! Our 11th episode belongs to the first Hidden artist of 2022 - Milanese (non)photographer Alexa Sonsion. We were talking about asking for permission before taking someone’s picture, reality of working in the fashion industry in Milan, not having the time to buy a new camera, using iPhone for shooting campaigns of big fashion brands, differences between Northern & Southern Italy or the Clan of Gucci dissatisfaction.

That's what really happened. We managed to record ten podcasts this year. The tenth anniversary one belongs to the great illustrator Nikola Logos, whose exhibition took place at Hidden Showcases in Florence this September. We talked to her about her wish to have a book in her Happy Meal, documenting trips to world capitals, geography, satin necklaces from a 3D printer, making practical gifts for Christmas, Dune, an overview of Greek relatives in Czech show business and Miroslav Šašek.

The ninth episode of Hidden podcast belongs to Oldřich Bystřické. We talked to Oldřich, a painter, photographer, performer, educator and passionate collector of all things beautiful, about his self-portraits created on the staircase at the Veletržák, the culture of reproduction, pests of houseplants, sustainability of art, sharp knives, Czech taste and his sweater collection.

Oskar Hořánek is one of the first artists who launched the Hidden gallery in Bořivojov last year as part of the Petrblok #1 exhibition block.In the eighth episode of the Hidden podcast, we talked to him about the too-long quarantine at the cottage, parties in the restoration studio, making iron doors for the Kunsthalle, repairing the bathroom at Otto M. Urban's house, and why he doesn't paint his classmates.

The seventh episode of the Hidden podcast with Mai Rajchlova concludes our heartfelt Petrblok #2 drawing student block for good. We talked about things like identity formation without labeling, therapy, relating to your own body, decision paralysis as a syndrome of high school students, love of coffee, and trolling on Tinder.

The new episode of Hidden podcast with Karolina Netolicka is unsurprisingly focused on fauna. However, we also talked to the sixth-year drawing student about what it's like to go to AVU from high school, why dishes should be washed and cleaned as slowly as possible, night wanderings for inspiration or what soap is the best for washing unwashed pastel off your hands.

The conversation with Matěj Pokorný was such an intense experience that we ended up talking for almost four and a half hours. You can hear about two and a half of the most interesting things about his experimental filmmaking, paintings that are out loud, his lifelong experience with ADHD, forms of rumination, and his love of baths.

Jiří Petrbok needs no lengthy introduction. We talked with the established representative of contemporary Czech art about his friendship with his students, holotropic breathing, pandemic baking of rolls, admiration of Gucci, leaving the Academy of Fine Arts, experimental music or buying farm vegetables.

A lot of fundamental things in the world exist in threes. Three veterans, Bee Gees, death, love, piss, Florence, Gotham, Traum and now parts of the Hidden podcast. Our guest on the latest episode was illustrator, musician and friend Tomas Motal, with whom we talked about things like his beginnings in children's choir, Freddie Mercury, VHS rentals, singing on the way home from the pub, concert euphoria and phototourism. A bit of a tired start, a better finish. And if you want to see some of Tomas' stuff, there's nothing easier than to visit Hidden Showcases in the lobby of the Florenc metro station, where you can find his exhibition until the end of June.

Another episode of Hidden podcast with student, painter, singer and digital superstar Martin Kolář about his beginnings at AVU, oscillations between digital and classical in drawing and music, NFTs, old masters, Kurt Cobain and Jiří Korn.

The first celebratory (and perhaps a little embarrassing) episode of the Hidden podcast featuring artist, cat lover and branch collector Anna Ruth on the woods, art, romanticizing mental discomfort, city life and the need to keep journals.
