Is originally from the Czech Republic. She studied Humanities and Liberal Arts at Charles University in Prague and just finished a Master’s degree at Maastricht University in the field of Arts & Heritage. In Prague she worked for several art institutions like the National Gallery, DOX Centre for Contemporary Art or Kampa Museum, primarily for their education departments with a focus on audience development. In 2011 she did an internship at Non-fiction. During this period she developed a weblog showing extra-muros projects of (art) museums, together with the Stedelijk Museum. She joined the team in October 2011 and immediately doubled the number of IQ points at the office.
Opening up the Rijksakademie: bloggers wanted
For a while now I’ve been involved with the Rijksakademie voor beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam, an artists’ institute for national and international top talent.

These days the Rijksakademie offers a residency to more than 50 artists from all over the world.

Non-fiction weeknotes #4
The fourth edition of the Non-fiction week notes makes it a tradition. That is mainly because of the fact that the number four seems to be an important one: four members of Beatles, Olympic Games and World Championship is being held every four years, there are four terrestrial and four giant gas planets in the Solar System, mammals have four heart chambers, all insects with wings except flies have four wings and most importantly four is the atomic number of beryllium. We hope that this edition of Non-fiction week notes will be as interesting as the aforementioned facts about this great number. Enjoy the reading because we do it just 4 you.
Besides Juha, Boris and Adéla, Joske Koning, who collaborates with Boris, joined us too.
