A two-day video marathon in collaboration with the Filmwerkstatt Düsseldorf presenting recent works by artists from NRW alongside works from the Julia Stoschek Collection.

On 20 and 21 September 2025, the Julia Stoschek Foundation, in collaboration with the Filmwerkstatt Düsseldorf, will present the video marathon “Flatten The Curve”. Out of more than 180 submissions, a jury selected 32 video works by artists and collectives from North Rhine-Westphalia which will be shown alongside classics of video art as well as more recent works from the Julia Stoschek Collection in a two-day screening program at the Filmwerkstatt. “Flatten The Curve” is part of the project series “The Time that Remains” (“Die Zeit, die bleibt”) organized by Lou von der Heyde as part of the Julia Stoschek Foundation’s Curatorial & Research Residency Program. With this series, the Foundation is presenting time-based media art in public spaces across Düsseldorf during the one-year renovation of JSF’s main location.
