Platoon Kunsthalle

Platoon Kunsthalle is a cultural space for artists to work, for exhibitions and cultural events.
I went last week for the first time and I regret not having gone before.
There is a vast program of things going on in the Platoon spaces. They have parties, events, movie time and a good bar and restaurant space. As an artist you can even rent space for your work.
There is a strong collaboration with Berlin, where there is also a Platoon Kunsthalle.
I went to an internations event and a few days after to a Short Movie Festival event (picture above). There are always nice and open people. A lot (a lot!) of foreigners but also Koreans and people are very open minded to meet each other.
They have a big terrace and I guess when the weather will be better it will be awesome to hang out there.
Generally the architecture is quite cool. The whole building is made out of ship containers opened up and changed to very different spaces inside. Apparently it got a lot of prices in 2009 when it was built.
The food is quite simple but it's German cuisine! Which is hard to find here in Seoul. They have Schnitzel (German cutlet), Käsespätzle!, Flammkuchen (a traditional German sort of pie/pizza), Bratwurst and other good stuff! And of course German beer!


I will go there for sure more often!
