Galeria Plan B

Plan B was founded in 2005 in Cluj, Romania, on the initiative of Mihai Pop and Adrian Ghenie as a production and exhibition space for contemporary art. The gallery’s programme focuses on researching Romanian art from the past fifty years, highlighting the work of remarkable artists who have had little to no international exposure.

In 2008, Plan B expanded by opening a permanent exhibition space in Berlin, which has since been managed by Mihai Pop and Mihaela Lutea. In 2009, Plan B helped initiate Fabrica de Pensule—the Paintbrush Factory—in Cluj, an independent cultural centre housed in a former paintbrush factory. Currently, Plan B Cluj is working on establishing Fundatia Plan B, an art foundation with programmes designed for a historic late Baroque palace in the city centre, now undergoing renovations. This foundation will broaden the research and presentation of Romanian art in an international context.
