A Museum That Thinks of Collection as Contemporary

The BLMK is one of the important institutions for modern and contemporary art in Brandenburg. Its holdings extend from the Diesel Power Plant in Cottbus to the second location in Frankfurt (Oder) and include works from painting, photography, graphic art, poster art, and sculpture. This diversity shapes the exhibition atmosphere in Cottbus: industrial space, clear architecture, and precisely curated juxtapositions create a dense aesthetic experience.

Artwork Reflection Between View, Material, and Collection History

Condition of Acquisition not only deals with individual artworks but also with the logic of collecting itself. What visual languages are newly entering the museum? What themes, techniques, and attitudes are expanding a collection? By combining different genres, a concentrated path is created that makes both art historical lines and current positions of contemporary art visible.
