New Collection Accessions as a Concentrated Art Experience at the Diesel Power Plant Cottbus
With State of Acquisition. Collection Accessions from 2021-2025, the Brandenburg State Museum for Modern Art focuses on the latest acquisitions and donations to its collection. The exhibition combines painting, photography, poster art, and graphic positions into a precisely curated showcase that directs the gaze towards collecting itself.
The Collection as a Living Present
At the Diesel Power Plant Cottbus, it becomes visible how museum work unfolds between preservation and updating. The double exhibition connects groups of works from different generations and forms of expression into a dense parcours, where aesthetic experience and art-historical contextualization meet directly.
Works, Perspectives, Dialogues
Among the featured artists are Horst Bartnig, Ingrid Behla, Jan Brokof, Elżbieta Chojna, Lutz Fleischer, Kerstin Franke-Gneuß, Eva Mahn, Helga Paris, Núria Quevedo, Christine Schlegel, Gudrun Trendafilov, Claus Weidensdorfer, and Albert Weis. This diversity makes the exhibition an exciting panorama of contemporary and resonating artistic positions, where photography, graphics, and painting enter into productive tension.
The Venue: Industrial Architecture Meets Modernity
The Diesel Power Plant itself enhances the impact of the presentation. The distinctive architecture of the former power plant, now a museum for modern art, creates a clear, factual framework for viewing the works. Spaces, light, and materiality enter into a dialogue with the exhibited works and sharpen the perception of their formal and thematic peculiarities.
For Art Enthusiasts and Museum Visitors
The exhibition is suitable for anyone who wants to understand collection strategies, artistic handwriting, and the role of the museum as a cultural institution. Those who want to not only look at modern and contemporary art but also experience it in context will find a concentrated yet accessible entry point here.
Conclusion: State of Acquisition offers a thoughtful, sensual, and carefully curated look at the present of a collection. The showcase invites visitors to discover the new works in person and to experience the Diesel Power Plant Cottbus as a lively place of art anew.
