Bio/CV

Raúl Hott is a Chilean architect, researcher and artist. His work centres on experience as an artistic medium, an essential form of knowledge, and a fundamental learning method. He designs systems and architectures of healing. He creates architectures that intensify life through the construction of built environments. These act as multi-sensory performance spaces for collective experiences and seek to stimulate awareness and joy in the users. His practice is an exploration of methods of perception not based on separation but rooted in oneness, through curative processes under a holistic perception.

Raúl holds an MFA in New Forms from Pratt Institute. He has been particularly drawn to pedagogy, teaching in different Art and Architecture Schools since 2007. In 2017, he participated as a fellow resident of the experimental education program Capacete Athens. Raúl participated in The School of Everything; a symposium for discussing the future of art education organized by Documenta 14's Public Program in Athens.

Raúl Hott’s work and collaborations have been featured at Centro de Residencias Artísticas Matadero Madrid (Spain), Point Centre for Contemporary Art (Cyprus), Art in Odd Places Festival (NY), Trestle Gallery (NY), Ed. Varie Gallery (NY), Blackburn 20/20 Gallery (NY), Espacios Revelados (Chile), Centro de Creación y Residencia NAVE (Chile), and HALLE14 (Germany), among others.
