Pleased to share that Stefan Knauf is part of the exhibition POWERLINES at Mercedes-Benz Art Collection in Budapest, Hungary

Set within a former transformer station in Budapest—once built to power the city’s industrial expansion and now a place of cultural production—the exhibition POWER LINES brings works from the Mercedes-Benz Art Collection into dialogue with artistic positions from Hungary and across Central and Eastern Europe. The show explores how infrastructures of industry, energy, labour, and mobility continue to shape living conditions and environments.

POWER LINES reflects on the transformations that have reshaped the Budapest region over recent decades. Industrial production, logistical networks, and technological systems have generated opportunities, defined aesthetics, and created new forms of mobility. At the same time, they have embedded territories and communities within complex infrastructures of dependence.
