Established in 1950 as a venue for the Munich art scene in the east wing of Haus der Kunst, P1 has developed into one of the most desirable locations in the club landscape in Germany since the mid-1980s.
P1 is one of the few clubs, that lives next door to an art exhibition house. Not unlike Haus der Kunst, P1 continually reinvents itself.
Clubs are spaces for artistic expression and experimentation, places for participation and identity formation, venues for encounters and desire. Sound and lighting, dance floor, and lounging area create open spaces in which guests are transported from the real world of everyday life into their own reality of an endless night.
The exhibition in the Archiv Galerie of Haus der Kunst, which was developed on the basis of archive material, also opens up such a world to visitors. Haus der Kunst invites visitors to share their personal P1 stories and thus expand the exhibition.
