In fall 2025, DAS MINSK Kunsthaus in Potsdam will present the exhibition Wohnkomplex: Art and Life in Plattenbau. In this exhibition, guest curator Kito Nedo explores the question of how East German Plattenbau complexes are represented in art. Installations, paintings, drawings, photographs, and films created since the 1970s will be presented. In the exhibition, Kito Nedo gathers works that approach the Plattenbau in various ways—as a living space, as a symbol of social utopias, and as a projection of societal changes. The Plattenbau is not only viewed as architectural heritage, but also as a cultural space of resonance that raises questions about belonging, community, and memory. The exhibition intertwines artistic works with sociopolitical issues and reflects on how urban spaces influence both social structures and ways of life.
