When water becomes sound, image, and movement
The exhibition Afloat / Sound of Waves at the Brandenburg State Museum of Modern Art – Dieselkraftwerk Cottbus focuses on water as a fluid artistic field of research. The project by Radio Industry / Transmitter combines contemporary media art, visual media, site-specific sound works, and documentary perspectives into a sensual art experience.
An exhibition between flow and perception
Water appears here not as a mere motif, but as a mutable artistic method. In the works of the exhibition, it can be experienced as movement, sound space, material, and cultural landscape. The examination of the works leads through different forms of contemporary art and opens the view for those transitions where nature observation, technical media, and aesthetic experience intertwine.
Soundscapes, visual media, and site-specific works
Central to the exhibition are the results of the AFLOAT sessions from the Gramzow storage in August 2026 as well as solitary works in the context of local flows. Visual media encounter audible space compositions and documentary methods. The exhibition atmosphere emerges from the interplay of sound, image, spatial effect, and the inner conception of flowing movements.
The curation makes visible and audible how artists fluidly research water. In the process, a cross-media installation develops, where observation and interpretation, landscape and sound, memory and present overlap.
Art historical classification and cultural education
Afloat / Sound of Waves stands in the tradition of contemporary art that links ecological processes, local spaces, and acoustic perception. The exhibition expands the classic concept of painting or sculpture to include installative and sound-based forms. This creates a concentrated space for cultural education, open perception, and engagement with the relationship between humans, environment, and media.
Conclusion: An art experience for the eye and ear
Visitors can expect an atmospheric exhibition where water appears as sound, image, movement, and artistic thought space. Those who wish to experience contemporary media art, soundscapes, and site-specific art in a unique industrial architecture will find an impressive opportunity for aesthetic experience at the Dieselkraftwerk Cottbus. A visit invites one to slow down their own perception and attentively follow the flow of art.
