Kunststrom Power Station and Art Centre

E-WERK Luckenwalde is a regenerative power station, contemporary art centre and Kunststrom (art power) research laboratory. In 2017, artist Pablo Wendel acquired the former brown-coal power station with the vision to reanimate it as a regenerative Kunststrom (art power) power station and to both feed power back to the national grid as well as function as a large-scale contemporary art centre. As a not-for-profit institution, E-WERK reinvests all revenue from energy production into its contemporary art programme. Click here to switch to Kunststrom today!

In addition to that, E-WERK Luckenwalde hosts a quarterly programme and is the first contemporary art centre in the world to be powered by its own production. Click here to read more about our programme.

Stadtbad Live

E-WERK Luckenwalde is also a founding partner of Stadtbad Live, collaboratively initiated by EW, the City of Luckenwalde, and Luba GmbH. Stadtbad Live is an experimental urban development project which seeks to transform the former municipal Bauhaus swimming pool into an internationally and regionally relevant venue for culture. The aspiration is to turn the Stadtbad back into a public space that is open to local, national and international visitors with high-calibre concerts, sports events, youth workshops, live performances for everyone in the city and beyond.
