Meriem Bennani
Party on the CAPS
January 25–May 3, 2020, JSC Berlin
Meriem Bennani’s first solo exhibition in Germany will present Party on the CAPS (2018), an eight-channel video installation exploring displacement, resilience, and the relationship between identity and place. Conceived as a documentary set in a speculative future about daily life on CAPS, an island turned megacity in the middle of the Atlantic, where migrants are detained, the work amplifies reality through special effects and humor. The exhibition is part of horizontal vertigo, a year-long program at the Julia Stoschek Collection in Düsseldorf and Berlin, curated by Lisa Long. more

February 9–July 19, 2020, JSC Düsseldorf
The second iteration of JSC ON VIEW brings together a selection of time-based and photographic works from the Julia Stoschek Collection that examine sociopolitical topics such as places and events steeped in history, legal grievances, forms of isolation, marginalization, and political resistance. The exhibition also addresses how pictures are manipulated and staged, and how they become part of a collective memory through the internet and mass media, while blurring the borders between fact and fiction. more
Sophia Al-Maria
Bitch Omega
March 8–July 19, 2020, JSC Düsseldorf
Bitch Omega, Sophia Al-Maria’s first solo exhibition in Germany, brings together a selection of moving-image works concerning the writing and imaging of history and myth via our relationship to the camera and the screen. Taking the downcast gaze of the omega wolf as a poetic position of hyper-subjectivity, the show includes a new video essay exploring point of view and the difference between being a witness and a participant in events at the time of planetary transition. The exhibition is part of horizontal vertigo, a year-long program at the Julia Stoschek Collection in Düsseldorf and Berlin, curated by Lisa Long. more
