PAUL CHAN in What a Wonderful World: An Audiovisual Poem in Los Angeles

Julia Stoschek Foundation
Los Angeles

February 6 – March 20, 2026

Unfolding across six floors and 120 years, What a Wonderful World will transform the iconic Venetian-style Variety Arts Theater in downtown Los Angeles into a soul-stirring experience, a cinematic journey through the trajectories, secrets and fragilities of humanity.

This experimental presentation initiates a rare cross-disciplinary dialogue, dismantling hierarchies between art forms and dissolving the boundaries between visual art and cinema, museum and theater, white cube and black box. In doing so, it traces the evolution of visual storytelling over the past century, revealing how our ways of seeing and of being seen, continue to shift, refract, and renew.
