A cheap way to manage the housing shortage in former GDR cities, the prefab concrete buildings were long derided for their monotony. The exhibition explores the cultural legacy of the prefabricated buildings, "as a living space, as a symbol of social utopias, and as a projection of societal changes," states the exhibition's presentation. "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." Among them, Berlin artist Markus Draper recreates in "Grauzone" the skeletons of faceless prefabricated buildings. In them, she reproduces from memory details of her childhood in the 1970s in Lobeda, a prefabricated housing suburb of Jena.
