Czech-Polish exhibition in the largest hall of the gallery for the bridging period after the end of PLATO Bauhaus. A facility for communities and partners. Fragments of Bauhaus structures and new works.

Postbauhaus is meant to function as a pressure vessel to bridge the period after the end of PLATO Bauhaus, where our activities, together with those of a number of communities, organisations and platforms, were discontinued at the end of June 2024. Our aim is to transfer the Bauhaus atmosphere, openness to experimentation and safe space for communities to the new venue in the renovated historic slaughterhouse.

Fragments of selected Temporary Structures that had made up the Bauhaus facilities were used in designing Postbauhaus, as they carry within them the memory of what was successfully developed in the former hobby market. For several months, the new environment will become a facility for both the PLATO programme and the activities of the Bauhaus-era partners introduced in the project, and hopefully also for new partners in the future. We may all have lost the Bauhaus, but what we don’t want to lose are our connections and mutual trust with the organisations.

The exhibition section reflects on the values we share with the participating organisations.

Within Postbauhaus, we’ll learn to function together with independent actors in a different situation. After the end of the pilot project, we plan to provide communities with a studio space on the first floor of the gallery.
