Techno DJ Juliana Huxtable To Present Her Largest Art Exhibition, USSYPHILIA, In Berlin

This September, multidisciplinary artist and experimental DJ Juliana Huxtable is set to open her largest European exhibition to date at a new contemporary art museum in Berlin.

Fotografiska Berlin will host a solo show, titled USSYPHILIA, by the Texas-born creative from September 14-January 10 as well as pieces from her 2022 exhibition AKIMBO-SPITTLE.

USSYPHILIA will premiere a video installation centered on “re-examining the understanding and creation of the image,” and also “brings new subjectivity in mythicized research around the ideas of limiting identity, sexed body beyond the identifiably human realm as a response to the political and social climate.”

The project also explores “gender, race, identity, queerness, and sexuality” with performative paintings of Huxtable’s body.

Her work explores Huxtable’s own identity as a Black trans woman, commenting on different forms of reality through the lens of her personal experiences.

But not only is Huxtable a celebrated artist with work featured in the Walker Art Center, the Institute for Contemporary Art in Boston, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Guggenheim, and more, she’s also a highly sought-after DJ.

She’s performed her unique and chaotic techno sound at countless international festivals and events including Primavera Sound, Berghain, Boiler Room Uganda, Elsewhere Brooklyn, and more.
