A tribute to Hans Scheuerecker at the Diesel Power Plant Cottbus

With All the best, dear Hans, the Brandenburg State Museum of Modern Art honors the Cottbus painter Hans Scheuerecker on the occasion of his 75th birthday. The exhibition brings together important works from the BLMK collection and private collections into a concentrated artistic experience that focuses on the expressive power of his oeuvre. On July 26, 2026, a space opens at the Diesel Power Plant Cottbus for the contemplation of works, art historical classification, and aesthetic experience.

Hans Scheuerecker: Gestures, Color, Resistance

Hans Scheuerecker is regarded as a distinctive voice of the Cottbus art scene and as a representative of a neo-expressive visual language that opened new spaces beyond rigid conventions in the 1980s. His works combine painting, graphics, and performative energy into an imagery of surface, line, and eruptive color. The works seem immediate, often nervous and at the same time poetic, as if they seek the great form in fragments.

The collection as a mirror of an artistic life path

BLMK possesses one of the most significant collections of modern and contemporary art from the GDR and presents a representative view of Scheuerecker's creation with this exhibition. The presentation from the own collection and from private collections allows for a multifaceted approach to motifs, techniques, and developments. It is especially in this juxtaposition that the exhibition atmosphere unfolds between intimacy and monumentality.

The Diesel Power Plant as a venue for modern art

The former Diesel Power Plant in Goethepark is one of the most striking museum buildings in Cottbus. Its industrially influenced architecture, clear spaces, and light-flooded exhibition areas enhance the impact of the artworks. Anyone entering here experiences not just a mere hanging but a dialogue between space, material, and artistic attitude.

Communication, accessibility, and visitor experience

The museum offers barrier-free access to the exhibition rooms via elevator. This provides visitors with good conditions for a focused museum visit. The combination of collection display, art education, and museum architecture makes the visit particularly attractive for all who want to not only see art but understand it.

Conclusion: This exhibition invites you to rediscover Hans Scheuerecker's visual language and to experience his significance for the art from Cottbus and Brandenburg in depth. Those who appreciate expressive painting, graphic density, and a strong museum framework should not miss this date at the Diesel Power Plant Cottbus.
