"The Julia Stoschek Foundation will stage its first major US presentation next year with "What a Wonderful World: An Audiovisual Poem," a large-scale exhibition of time-based artworks set to open February 6 at the historic Variety Arts Theater in downtown Los Angeles. The show, organized by curator Udo Kittelmann, brings together contemporary video works from the foundation's holdings and early cinema classics, creating what organizers describe as an encounter spanning 120 years of moving-image history."
"Founded in Berlin and Düsseldorf, the Julia Stoschek Foundation oversees one of the world's most expansive private collections of time-based art, with more than 1,000 works by 300 artists. Its programming-focused on film, video, performance, sound, and multimedia environments-positions the foundation as a major force in the field. Stoschek, an ARTnews Top 200 Collector, is particularly known for championing moving-image work and for making parts of her collection publicly accessible online."
"The Los Angeles exhibition will bring together an extensive roster of artists, including Marina Abramović, Arthur Jafa, Cyprien Gaillard, Lu Yang, Maya Deren, Doug Aitken, and Monica Bonvicini, alongside early film pioneers such as Luis Buñuel, Alice Guy-Blaché, Winsor McCay, Georges Méliès, and Walt Disney. The project expands the foundation's longstanding interest in situating contemporary video practice within a broader cinematic lineage."
