Hans Scheuerecker at the BLMK: Birthday exhibition with radiance
The Brandenburg State Museum for Modern Art dedicates a concentrated exhibition to Hans Scheuerecker on the occasion of his 75th birthday at the Diesel Power Station Cottbus. Important works from the museum's collection as well as selected loans from private collections will be shown. This creates an art experience that brings biography, collection history, and artistic handwriting into an intense dialogue.
An artist between painting, graphics, and action
Hans Scheuerecker has been one of the defining figures of the Cottbus art scene for decades. Since 1979 he has worked as a freelance painter, graphic artist, actionist, and stage designer; he also taught at the Cottbus branch of the Academy of Fine Arts Dresden from 1982 to 1986. In 1992 he was the first artist to receive the Art Prize of the State of Brandenburg. These milestones mark a body of work that unfolds between expressive form, subjective imagery, and open experimental joy.

Works from collection and private collections
The exhibition unites paintings, graphics, and other works from different phases of creation. The BLMK thus locates Scheuerecker's work in the broader context of its collection and East German art history. For visitors, there arises a consideration of works that makes visible the tension between individual handwriting and museal classification. The combination of the museum's holdings and external loans is particularly appealing because it makes the artistic developmental lines perceptible not as a rigid chronology, but as a living visual world.

The Diesel Power Station as a museal resonance space
The exhibition venue itself enhances the aesthetic experience. The Diesel Power Station Cottbus is a striking museum building from the 1920s and is now part of the BLMK. The spaces are barrier-free accessible via elevators or ramps. The museum is open Tuesday to Sunday from 11 am to 7 pm; the address is Uferstraße/Am Amtsteich 15 in 03046 Cottbus.

Education, guided tours, and context
A guided tour with Ulrike Kremeier is announced for the exhibition, which deepens access to work groups, collection context, and art historical classification. This aligns with the BLMK's mediation approach, which places its collections in supra-regional and art historical contexts and thereby understands cultural education not as an addition but as the core of the museum experience.

Conclusion
All the best, dear Hans offers more than a birthday exhibition: The show opens a view onto an independent, expressive oeuvre and onto the cultural significance of Hans Scheuerecker for Cottbus and Brandenburg. Those who appreciate painting, graphics, and a dense exhibition atmosphere should experience this artistic event live at the Diesel Power Station.
