Generations Part 2. Female Artists in Dialogue

June 29, 2018 – March 10, 2019

In the second part of the exhibition Generations. Female artists in Dialogue staged in the former air shelter in Haus der Kunst, the focus is on the body and the exploration of its limits, as well as the examination of social concepts of sexuality, gender and identity in moving images.

With Geta Brătescu, Nathalie Djurberg, Tracey Emin, Aneta Grzeszykowska, Mona Hatoum, Sam Taylor-Johnson, Yayoi Kusama, Ulrike Ottinger, Pipilotti Rist, Ulrike Rosenbach and Rosemarie Trockel.

Since its beginnings, video art has been used as a medium for self-reflection and the documentation of performances. On display are videos, films and installations by artists from the 1960s to the present day. The scope ranges from the playful-sensual exploration of intimate areas of the body by Pipilotti Rist and the deconstruction of the female body in the stop-motion films with Nathalie Djurberg’s clay figures, to the documentation of socio-political performances by Mona Hatoum, in which the Lebanese artist literally turns the inside out.

Curated by Cornelia Gockel und Susanne Touw

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.
