This shot shows a film still of three men dressed alike, with the same hairstyles, sitting exhausted and resigned on broad steps. The floor is full of scattered papers, the contents of which are not discernible. Aernout Mik, Sammlung Goetz Munich

fast forward. Avance rápido. Media Art de la Coleccíon Goetz

February 9 – April 17, 2005

“The fundamental questioning of our social reality all the way to the breaking of specific taboos and the formal investigation of our perception, the aesthetic – these are the two areas of art that interest me the most and that essentially dominate my collection.“ (Ingvild Goetz)

With Francis Alÿs, Emanuelle Antille, Kutlug Ataman, Andrea Bowers, Janet Cardiff & George Bures Miller, David Claerbout, Rineke Dijkstra, Tracey Emin, Peter Fischli and David Weiss, Rodney Graham, Pierre Huyghe, Mark Leckey, Metthew McCaslin, Bjørn Melhus, Aernout Mik, Tracey Moffatt, Saskia Olde Wolbers, Gabriel Orozco, Tony Oursler, Luca Pancrazzi, Paul Pfeiffer, Pipilotti Rist, Anri Sala, Sam Taylor-Wood and Diana Thater.

As a private collector, Ingvild Goetz decided early on to focus on the new medium of video art. She thus takes a vanguard role due to the fact that video art is technologically complex; its installation and maintenance is often highly time-consuming. Over the course of many years, she has developed an international collection of media art that is among the most significant in the world.

The exhibition fast forward. Avance rápido was developed in cooperation with ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe and Sammlung Goetz in Munich and shown in 2003/04 in the ZKM Karlsruhe. Including a representative selection of videos, video installations and films, it for the first time gave an impression of the Sammlung Goetz media collection. Some of the works in this exhibition had been on view in the Centro Cultural Conde Duque in Madrid. This show featured a selection of current works from the 1990s through the present day.

Ilinca Fechete. Memory Magnified by Memory of Course

September 5 – September 18, 2026 | AkademieGalerie

“I imagine a situation in which several people are standing together, and I am one of them. One person at a time is subjected to an electrical shock although their identity is concealed, as the electrical connection remains out of sight. All I can do is observe the facial expressions and reactions of the others to identify who has been shocked,” explains the artist Ilinca Fechete. Her new work made possible by the 2026 Media Art Award awarded by the Ingvild and Stephan Goetz Art Foundation in collaboration with the Sammlung Goetz and the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, consists of an ultrasound sound system and a visual program for a film.

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.
