Chris Hinze at the Diesel Power Plant Cottbus: An Exhibition Between Silence, Space and Memory
The Brandenburg State Museum of Modern Art presents a two-part solo exhibition by Chris Hinze in Cottbus, which combines a site-specific installation with an overview of central bodies of work. The presentation opens a space for contemplating, reflecting, and experiencing aesthetics – right in the characterful ambience of the Diesel Power Plant.

An Artistic Experience with Spatial Intensity
In Machine House 1, the installation Room of Silence, developed specifically for the museum, unfolds. Sculptural and architectural interventions transform the exhibition space into a concentrated experience zone where movement, perception, and tranquility overlap. The work makes the visitor not only an observer but a part of the composition. ([cottbus.de](https://cottbus.de/veranstaltungen/chris-hinze-fragmente-eines-wegs-56/))
Painting, Graphics and Sculpture in Dialogue
In Switching House 3, the museum presents an overview of Hinze's pictorial work. Works from various phases of creation and in different techniques are on display, including graphics, painting, sculpture, and plastic works. The parcours makes visible how consistently the artist experiments with material, space, and visual language. ([cottbus.de](https://cottbus.de/veranstaltungen/chris-hinze-fragmente-eines-wegs-56/))
Chris Hinze: Self-Taught, Spatial Artist, Boundary Crosser
Chris Hinze was born in 1969 in Cottbus, works self-taught, and has been freelancing since 1992. His fields of work include sculpture, installation, graphics, painting, and performance. Since 2009, his artistic environment has been closely linked to Potsdam and Glindow; he also co-founded the art house sans titre. This biography places him in a contemporary art context that thinks together perception, symbolism, and spatial experience. ([chrishinze.de](https://www.chrishinze.de/about/?utm_source=openai))
