Exhibition dedicated to the 25 years anniversary of Gallery 4.Gallery 4 comemorates its quarter-century long period of existence to broad public in the listed reservation of historical center of Cheb. Indeed, the proprietor of G4, Zbyněk Illek, its current director, started the first western bohemia photographic exhibitiory hall on 4th December 1985. Today, the gallery is the eldest still running gallery of photography in Czech republic.

Four exhibition rooms were created by the reconstruction of a neglected contemporary ambulatory. Gallery offers 170 square meters of space altogether with small office and storage.

Gallery operates with installation system Nielsen and the lightning is provided by Lival slat lights. Articulation of the rooms creates specific atmosphere as the gallery is able to exhibit up to a hundred frames of 70×100 cm. The space offers a wide variety of themes and formats to display - currently having almost 500 different frames available.

At the present moment, Gallery 4 focuses mainly on four activities: exhibitions, non-exhibitions, acquiring collections and methodical activities.

Exhibitions doesn’t limit only for the given space of the gallery - many of the exhibitions are held in foreign as well as other Czech galleries.

Non-exhibitory activities include organising socio-cultural events for professionals as well as for the broad public, youth and children.

Acquiring collections is mainly for a study and documentary purpose. In latest years, the collection is focused on Czech and foreign authors after the 1950s.

Methodical activities run in two directions: towards the broad and professional public in theoretical level (publishing, library, archive, seminars, lectures) and practical (workshops, symposia).
