In 2016, the Julia Stoschek Collection opened a satellite exhibition space in a former Czech cultural center in Berlin.[4] The space has in the past shown solo shows by artists including Arthur Jafa (2018).[11]
The Julia Stoschek Collection co-sponsored two exhibitions in the German Pavilion at the Venice Biennale: Fabrik (2015) curated by Florian Ebner and Faust (2017) by Anne Imhof.[12]
In 2025, the Julia Stoschek Foundation announced plans to stage “What a Wonderful World: An Audiovisual Poem,” its first major US presentation, held at the historic Variety Arts Theater in downtown Los Angeles and organized by curator Udo Kittelmann in 2026.[13]
