VOLT – Art in the shell of the HZB
-
Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie
Magnusstraße 8,
12489 Berlin
An extraordinary setting: from 19 to 21 June, artists and students from the Berlin University of the Arts will be exhibiting in the shell of the services building on the HZB campus in Berlin-Adlershof. The public is warmly invited to attend the three-day exhibition.
Emerging research architecture and artistic interventions in sculpture, painting, video and photography create a dynamic blend in a space that constantly challenges the boundaries of perception.
This is the third edition of the event, organised once again in collaboration with the client, the Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin. The art exhibition is curated by DGI Bauwerk and Enno Wallis.
The opening on 19 June at 5 pm will be accompanied by the music project Hannelore. To support emerging artists, three artistic projects will be honoured with the TIBES ART AWARD III on 21 June at 3.30 pm.

About the new building of HZB
With the construction of the new Services Building II, HZB is developing the eastern section of the site for future use by the scientific and research communities. The building will be constructed as a reinforced concrete structure and will feature a timber curtain wall façade as well as a green façade. It measures approximately 31 x 12 metres, comprises four full storeys and will reach a height of just under 20 metres. The new building will house building services systems for the adjacent new laboratory buildings (drinking water, local and district heating, and electricity distribution, as well as compressed air and refrigeration) and will provide space for IT servers and building security. Start of construction: May 2025; planned completion: summer 2027.
