Hošek Contemporary

Established in 2016, Hosek Contemporary is a gallery and art residency located on MS Heimatland, a historical cargo ship in Mitte, Berlin. The gallery focuses primarily on abstract painting, site-specific installations and performing arts. During the spring and summer months, the gallery has an active music programme with weekly improvised and experimental sound works presented by local and international artists.
MS Heimatland was built in 1910 and mainly used for transporting coal and sand until the 90s. It served for artistic and cultural purposes for the first time in 2002, when German sculptor Christiane Möbus chose it for her project. Finally in March 2018, the ship became the new exhibition space and artist residency of Hosek Contemporary. The boat is permanently anchored next to Fischerinsel in the historical port of Berlin.
