The catalogue Wohnkomplex – Art and Life in Plattenbau was published by DISTANZ Verlag to accompany the exhibition in German and English. This doesn’t merely present the works on view at MINSK, but also offers an art and cultural historical reassessment of an important chapter in GDR and architectural history. Alongside texts by Kito Nedo and Kevin Hanschke, the catalogue also includes guest contributions on the interplay between art and life in Plattenbau: a literary essay by author Grit Lemke, a cultural-historical analysis of GDR Plattenbau photography by cultural historian professor Bernd Lindner, a glossary of essential terms related to the “Platte” complex by art historian Juliane Richter, and a chronicle of the development of Plattenbau architecture and artistic interior and exterior perspectives on this field by architect Philipp Meuser.
