Julia Stoschek Foundation to Close Berlin Space in October 2026

The decision reflects a pivot to projects beyond Berlin during renovations at the Düsseldorf base.

Overview

  • The foundation said the shutdown is part of a strategic realignment that shifts its public program to projects in Germany and abroad.
  • Opened in 2016, the Berlin venue staged 22 exhibitions and drew more than 450,000 visitors, with solo shows by Meriem Bennani, Stan Douglas, Arthur Jafa, and Mark Leckey.
  • The Düsseldorf headquarters remains closed for renovations and is expected to reopen next year.
  • The shift follows the foundation’s first major U.S. presentation in Los Angeles, a six-week show that closed March 20 and drew more than 30,000 visitors.
  • Julia Stoschek said she remains deeply connected to Berlin, signaling the foundation is not exiting the city’s art scene entirely.
