Chris Hinze at the Diesel Power Plant: An Exhibition Between Sound, Space, and Inner Movement
With Fragments of a Path, the Brandenburg State Museum of Modern Art shows a two-part solo exhibition of the Cottbus artist Chris Hinze at the Diesel Power Plant Cottbus starting June 9, 2026. The presentation combines installation, painting, graphic arts, and sculpture into a multifaceted art experience that transforms space, material, and memory into a dense exhibition atmosphere.
Between Industrial Architecture and Aesthetic Experience
The Diesel Power Plant itself amplifies the effect of the works: The former industrial monument with its high ceilings, clear lines, and barrier-free access via elevator provides a powerful resonance space for Hinze's art. Here, contemporary art meets the history of a place that today holds regional significance as a museum for modern art in Brandenburg. The BLMK houses over 45,000 works and is one of the most important locations for art from the GDR and subsequent artistic traditions. ([blmk.de](https://www.blmk.de/museum/))
Chris Hinze: Visual Artist, Musician, Spatial Thinker
Chris Hinze was born in 1969 in Cottbus and has been working as a freelance artist since 1992. His oeuvre includes sculpture, installation, graphic arts, painting, and performance; he also engages with music and sound to create spatial situations. This connection between image, body, architecture, and acoustic perception also shapes the current exhibition and lends it art historical depth. An official biography and overview of works emphasize Hinze's interest in mythological signs, symbolic representations, and the question of how to emotionally charge spaces.

Groups of Works, Themes, and Mediation
The exhibition is conceived as a two-part solo exhibition according to BLMK and brings different groups of works into an intense dialogue. Hinze's works open a space for thought regarding perception, nature experience, architecture, and spiritual counter-images to our accelerated present. For art-interested visitors, this creates an exhibition that is not just observed but physically experienced. The BLMK regularly complements its program with guided tours and art educational formats, making the exhibition also attractive for in-depth work discussion and cultural education.
