Chris Hinze’s exhibition ‘Fragmente eines Wegs / Raum der Stille’ is scheduled to close on 23 August at the Dieselkraftwerk Cottbus, the Cottbus venue of the Brandenburgisches Landesmuseum für moderne Kunst (BLMK). The exhibition has been on view since 25 April 2026.

At its centre is ‘Raum der Stille’, a site-specific, room-filling installation conceived for the exhibition space. The work transforms the gallery through a combination of sculptural and architectural intervention with subtle sound, making the room itself part of the installation rather than simply a setting for individual objects.

The BLMK’s event listing describes the installation as part of the broader exhibition ‘Fragmente eines Wegs’. The available information identifies Hinze as the artist but does not provide further biographical details or a list of additional works in the presentation. The exhibition’s emphasis, as stated by the museum, is the spatial transformation produced by the installation’s physical intervention and restrained acoustic element.

Dieselkraftwerk Cottbus is one of the BLMK’s two principal museum locations. The former industrial site is listed by the museum at Uferstraße/Am Amtsteich 15 in Cottbus, where the institution presents exhibitions drawn from its programme and collection. The BLMK also operates locations in Frankfurt (Oder), including the Packhof and the Rathaushalle.

The Cottbus venue is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11am to 7pm, according to the BLMK. The museum states that all exhibition rooms, as well as its event hall and children’s and youth area, are accessible by lift. The source material does not specify a separate admission price for Hinze’s exhibition.

The closing date places ‘Fragmente eines Wegs / Raum der Stille’ alongside several other exhibitions in the Dieselkraftwerk’s 2026 programme. These include presentations devoted to Patricia Thoma, Hans Scheuerecker, and the collaboration ‘Fremde und Freiheit’ by Mona Höke and Kathrin Karras; those projects are separate from Hinze’s installation. Hinze’s exhibition remains on view at Dieselkraftwerk Cottbus through 23 August 2026.
