It was used as a factory ground, a clothing store, a night club, a museum and – back in the 80s – as a theatre space used by Tomaž Pandur.

In 2012, after the house was not used for some time, its owners offered it for the purposes of Maribor, European Capital of Culture 2012 programme. At that time, it was also noticed by Miha Horvat of the Son:DA art tandem, who proposed to the EPK the use of this house as an exhibition venue for a collaboration between the Transnational Guerilla Art School and the Graz gallery < rotor >.

After 2012, the house was offered free of charge to the Institute Foundation Sonda, who now run it under the name GT22 (the name comes from its address Glavni trg 22).

And, probably, by a few more.
