A Vibrant Birthday Art Experience for Cottbus
With All the Best, dear Hans, the Brandenburg State Museum of Modern Art in the Diesel Power Plant Cottbus honors the 75th birthday of Hans Scheuerecker. The exhibition brings together key works of the Cottbus artist from the BLMK collection and private collections and paints an accurate picture of an oeuvre that has continuously grown since the 1970s. Painting, graphics, poster art, and sculpture enter into a lively dialogue here.

Hans Scheuerecker: A Formative Voice of the Cottbus Art Scene
Scheuerecker is regarded as a significant representative of a neo-expressive stance that fundamentally broke the East German art landscape in the 1980s. His works oscillate between existential strokes, powerful colorfulness, and a visual language that vibrates between abstraction and figurative condensation. The BLMK thus presents not only individual highlights but also development lines of an artistic life path that is closely linked to Cottbus.

Works, Materials, and Collection Insight
The exhibition makes visible how a compilation has condensed into an art-historically significant collection over decades. In observing the works, visitors encounter painting and graphics as well as posters and sculptures, complemented by loans from private collections. This connection between museum collection and private art ownership opens a dense view of continuities, breaks, and thematic variations in Scheuerecker's work.

The Diesel Power Plant as a Resonance Space
The exhibition venue enhances the aesthetic experience: The former Diesel Power Plant is a converted industrial monument and today a site of the BLMK with modern art in an architecturally striking space. The exhibition benefits from this mix of historical industrial architecture and museum clarity, which particularly accentuates colors, lines, and materiality. The house is open Tuesday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.; the exhibition spaces are accessible via elevators.

Cultural Education and Museum Visit
The BLMK is not only a collection site but also a house of art education. Guided tours, educational programs, and museum-pedagogical formats are firmly part of the museum's profile. Therefore, visitors to the exhibition experience not only a mere display but a reflective art experience with a strong reference to art history, regional identity, and contemporary reception.

Conclusion: All the Best, dear Hans offers a pointed, sensual, and art-historically rich homage to Hans Scheuerecker. Those interested in painting, graphics, and the special energy of the Cottbus art scene should experience this exhibition live at the Diesel Power Plant. It combines collection history, spatial effects, and artistic presence into a convincing reason to visit.
