Julia Stoschek Collection
Number One: Destroy, She Said
The Julia Stoschek Collection’s first exhibition Destroy, She Said, opened last summer in Düsseldorf, attracted great attention in the media. One of the event’s highlights was the space itself, which was crafted by Berlin architects Kühn Malvezzi to individually spotlight the works of the 40 exhibiting artists. The spatial design is a testament to how an exhibition’s setting can greatly enhance the way contemporary, multimedia art is shown. The volume documents the exhibition and its extraordinary backdrop. It turns to images and text to present the works of artists such as Doug Aitken, Paul Chan, Robert Smithson, Monica Bonvicini, Natasha Sadr Hagidhian, Dara Birnbaum, Klara Liden and Olafur Eliasson and places them within the greater context of Stoschek’s exquisite, private art collection.
Daniel Birnbaum’s essay on contemporary, time-based art and prominent aspects of selected works from the Julia Stoschek Collection and Kaye Geipel’s article on the history and architecture of the century-old industrial site of the exhibition bring the book full circle.

This volume Number Two: Fragile documents the second exhibition of the Julia Stoschek Collection. It focuses on corporeality in videos, installations and photography, an aspect of art that has been explored intensively since the 1960s and 70s, in particular within the genres of Body Art and Performance. The book and the exhibition shed light on the themes of self-dramatisation, pain, transformation and physicality in the sense of a plasticity that can be experienced as a real, external phenomenon.
The book features over 50 selected artworks from Julia Stoschek’s private collection by 30 internationally renowned artists including Marina Abramovic, Vito Acconci, Chris Burden, Janet Cardiff and Georges Bures Miller, Terence Koh, Bruce Nauman, Pipilotti Rist, Katharina Sieverding and Rosemarie Trockel. It also features an article contributed by respected art scholar Elisabeth Bronfen. The volume thus constitutes an informative work on a theme central to the art of the past 50 years.
