Galeria Plan B

Plan B is an artist-run space opened in September 2005 in Cluj, the main city in the Romanian province of Transylvania. Initiated by Mihai Pop and Adrian Ghenie, Plan B is a production space for contemporary art. It also has a particular focus on Romanian art of the last 50 years, functioning also as a research centre that reveals works by remarkable artists with no previous international exposure.

The name of the gallery — Plan B — is a reference to the general state of art spaces in Romania: as these are mostly reliant on insufficient public resources, the 'plan B' fallback is animated by individual involvement, a different understanding of the institutional and a coherent managerial policy. Plan B organised the Romanian Pavilion at the 52nd Venice Biennale 2007 with Mihnea Mircan as the curator and Victor Man and Cristi Pogacean among the artists exhibited. Plan B Berlin has 260 sqm of exhibition space and is located in a 20th century former industrial building on Heidestrasse 50, near to the Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart Berlin.
