On this film still, a young woman can be seen in front of a silvery glittering curtain, singing and holding a microphone in her hand. She is wearing a white, low-cut, sleeveless dress with feathers at the hem.

Sammlung Goetz BASE 103

Emmanuelle Antille

June 21 – October 2, 2004

Emmanuelle Antille seduces viewers with her suggestive video installations. Sammlung Goetz inaugurates its newly expanded exhibition space, BASE 103, by presenting two central works of the Swiss artist.

We almost feel that we are sleepwalking when Emmanuelle Antille leads us along paths to mythically charged places. These locations become arenas for exceptional human circumstances and borderline situations.
The viewer in the five-part video installation Radiant Spirits (2000) seems to assume the role of a voyeur. In this work, Antille is the guide who takes the viewer on a discovery tour of an old Grand Hotel. Lying comfortably on a chaise lounge wearing video eyeglasses, the viewer witnesses erotic and puzzling events.
The video installation Angels Camp – Into the Purple Circle (2003) features four freely hanging screens and a lightbox, and is an independent component of the work group Angels Camp. Based on a novel, the work depicts the life of a group of young people at a camp on a lake. The installation was first shown in its entirety in 2003 in the Swiss Pavilion in Venice.
With the opening of BASE 103, Ingvild Goetz sets new priorities in her media exhibition activities.

In the exhibition The Sunset Route, on view at the Kunstpalais Erlangen and created in collaboration with the Sammlung Goetz, Cyrill Lachauer presents works from 2020 to 2025, a period during which he traveled on freight trains through the USA, Mexico, and Bosnia. In the spirit of poetic ethnography, he created photographs and films that are now being shown together for the first time. They all explore questions of freedom, self-determination, and resistance, as well as colonization, exclusion, and exploitation.

Laurie Simmons. Dollhouse Photographs

June 25 – August 30, 2026 | Deutsches Theatermuseum

The American artist Laurie Simmons is known for her photographs featuring tiny dolls representing stereotypical female roles in domestic interiors. Her series In and Around the House (1978/79) is exemplary for this set-up photography. The series is the centerpiece of the exhibition, with 56 black-and-white images showing a doll occupied with the mundane chores of a housewife in the cozy environment of a dollhouse. The exhibition “Laurie Simmons: Dollhouse Photographs”, a collaboration of Sammlung Goetz, Deutsches Theatermuseum and FILMFEST MÜNCHEN, presents a selection of works by Simmons that cast a critical gaze at gender stereotypes in the American middle class.

Sterling Ruby

July 16 – October 24, 2026 | Sammlung Goetz /Schaufenster

Los Angeles-based American artist Sterling Ruby is known for his cross-genre work, which ranges from ceramics and bronzes, collages and textiles, to enormous, spray-painted paintings. In his works, Ruby weaves together a variety of different autobiographical, art-historical, and sociological sources. Through deconstruction and reconstruction, he probes the idea of a non-hierarchical and borderless universe. The exhibition at the Sammlung Goetz /Schaufenster provides insight into his multi-layered artistic practice.

Jeff Wall

November 17, 2026 – February 20, 2027 | Sammlung Goetz /Schaufenster

Canadian artist Jeff Wall is one of the most influential photographers of our time. In his elaborately staged pictorial compositions, he combines the narrative of cinema with painting. Wall became known for his large-format lightbox images, which are formally more reminiscent of the world of advertising than that of fine art. With this technique, he revolutionized the medium of photography, elevating it to the height of painting and sculpture. The exhibition at the Sammlung Goetz /Schaufenster presents a selection of his iconic lightbox images from the 1990s.
