Dox

The largest independent institution focusing on contemporary art in the Czech Republic, which thanks to a private initiative opened to the public in 2008. A former factory in Prague’s Holešovice district that has become an example of cutting-edge contemporary architecture. Exhibition areas, the DOX⁺ multifunctional hall, the Gulliver Airship, a design shop, a bookstore, and the Fine Art Archive. A programme that spans genres, where art, literature, theatre, and music transform everyday experience. Space for critical public discussion on important topics that shape our world. Conviction that things can be done differently. DOX is all this, and more.

In 2018 the DOX Centre was enlarged to include the DOX⁺ multifunctional hall, a state of the art facility designed by the Petr Hájek Architekti architectural studio. It is used primarily for stage arts – theatre, dance, music, film, or performance art. The DOX⁺ hall was also nominated in 2018 for the Mies van Der Rohe Award for European architecture.

The latest phase in the enlargement of the DOX Centre is a complex of buildings designed by the Petr Hájek Architekti architectural studio DOX⁺, a multifunctional hall filled with state of the art equipment and with a capacity of 450-700 is simultaneously a full-fledged theatre and dance space, a cinema, and a conference hall.

Thanks to well-thought-out acoustics, it is also a first-class concert hall. Combined with an adjacent rehearsal space, it provides professional facilities for theatre and dance productions. Starting this year, the DOX⁺ facility will be the new home of the Farm in the Cave dance studio, led by director Viliam Dočolomanský.
