Martin Kohout (Repubblica Ceca, 1984) vive attualmente a Berlino. Con studi nel campo del cinema (FAMU, Praga) e nelle arti figurative (UdK, Berlino e Städelschule, Francoforte), il suo lavoro ha una solida base di ricerca, sia accademica che qualitativa. La sua pratica artistica abbraccia un’ampia gamma di medium come film, sculture, installazioni, stampe, eventi e pubblicazioni. In aggiunta, produce musica sotto lo pseudonimo TOLE e gestisce la piccola casa editrice TLTRPreβ. Nel 2017, Martin vince il Jindřich Chalupeký Award per giovani artisti cechi. Lavora con Exile Gallery (Vienna, Austria) e la Polansky Gallery (Praga e Brno, Repubblica Ceca). Martin è anche cultore della materia in Fotografia presso la Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design di Praga.
