The art collection Brandenburg Cottbus has moved to new premises – a former diesel power station –

changing its name in the wake of it. The museum located in the city of Cottbus, which used to be part of

the former German Democratic Republic, is now called KUNSTMUSEUM DIESELKRAFTWERK COTTBUS.

Nine artists have been invited to let themselves be inspired by the museum’s unusual relocation and to

respond to it with their very own artistic means. Elvira Hufschmid is one of them. She is presenting her

video work “Mall/Einkaufspassage”.

VIRTUAL RESIDENCY is an international project for media arts and, at the same time, a call for virtual

migration into the “showhouse Europe”. The project is supported by ZKM Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe.

There will be four exhibitions in various European cities. Elvira Hufschmid, who has been working on the

theme of “places of passages” for some time now, was invited to participate at the Centre d’Art

Contemporain in Metz with her work “Highway Poem”.
