Julia WachtelReturn to Content a/b

Wachtel’s first large solo show in Germany: multi-panel paintings from 2017 to now that pair found images from television, ads and the news.

Run jointly with Jahn und Jahn in Munich, which shows the other half at nearly the same dates (hence the “a/b”), the show gathers paintings made since 2017, close to half of them new from 2025 and 2026. Wachtel joins screen-printed and oil-painted panels into wide compositions she calls “linear collages.”

In Berlin hang the title work, Return to Content (2025), which sets a crocodile from Soviet cartoons beside a 1920 newspaper page, and Grab a Fucking Pencil (2026), with a portrait of Susan Sontag.
