Number Five Cities of Gold and Mirrors

This extensive publication documents new works acquired for the Julia Stoschek Collection in recent years as well as site-specific interventions in its exhibition space. Rather than a thematic concept, the forty-four works by thirty-five artists follow various content-related threads that reflect topical themes of contemporary art. The title, "Cities of Gold and Mirrors", not only refers to the film by Cyprien Gaillard, but is also a metaphor for a confrontation with sociopolitical questions concerning urban development and urbanism, along with the relationship between human beings and architecture as well as their personal desires and vanities.0Exhibition: Julia Stoschek Collection, Du sseldorf, Germany (2.7.2011-7.2012). 0.
