A birthday greeting as an exhibition: Hans Scheuerecker at the Diesel Power Plant Cottbus
On the occasion of Hans Scheuerecker's 75th birthday, the Brandenburg State Museum of Modern Art is dedicating a focused exhibition to the Cottbus artist at the Diesel Power Plant. Significant works from the collection of BLMK as well as selected loans from private collections will be displayed, directing attention to an oeuvre that has counted among the prominent artistic voices of the region for decades in painting, graphics, and performative forms.
A house of modernity as a resonance space
The Diesel Power Plant itself enhances the impact of this work observation: The expressive architecture of the former industrial building creates an exhibition atmosphere in which color, line, and materiality emerge particularly intensely. Here, art unfolds not as mere illustration but as a physically palpable presence.
Hans Scheuerecker between painting, action, and imagery
Since 1979, Hans Scheuerecker has been working as a freelance painter, graphic artist, performer, and set designer. His works are closely tied to East German art history while also being marked by a very distinctive handwriting. The BLMK situates his work in the context of a collection that comprehensively documents the modern and contemporary art from the GDR and its lines of tradition. From this perspective, Scheuerecker's work can be read as part of a vibrant art development that interweaves subjective experience, expressive form, and cultural memory.
Works from the collection and private collections
The exhibition gathers important works from the museum's collection and complements them with loans from private collections. This creates a multifaceted journey through different phases of creation. Painting, graphics, and sculpturally suggestive works encounter each other, allowing themes like figure, gesture, trace, and emotional density to unfold in changing perspectives.
Cultural education and visitor experience
The BLMK connects its exhibition practice with museum educational offers and guided tours. Those who visit the exhibition not only experience significant art but also a place of cultural education where historical contexts, collection work, and contemporary mediation converge. Particularly for art-interested visitors, a rarely dense mix of art history, regional identity, and aesthetic experience is provided.
Conclusion
This exhibition is recommended as a personal visit for all who wish to discover Hans Scheuerecker's art in its full range. The meeting of collection, private lenders, and monumental museum architecture promises an impressive art experience that makes Cottbus visible as an art location. Definitely worth seeing live.
