The Facts
On November 6, 2026, Galerie Max Hetzler announced a duo exhibition curated by Toby Ziegler, titled "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man," running November 25–December 18, 2026 at 10 Heddon Street in central London. The show features new paintings by Ziegler alongside works by Tony Oursler, installed across three floors of a gutted commercial building. It explores the tension between Romanticism and Post-humanism, reflecting how digital technology maps onto human thought and activity.
The Signal
The pairing of Ziegler’s new paintings with Oursler’s media-based practice underscores the gallery’s commitment to dialogues between painting and new media. Ziegler was recently awarded the 2025 Jean-François Prat Prize in Paris, and his large-scale mural for Goodmayes Hospital through the Hospital Rooms initiative signals his expanding institutional presence. The exhibition offers collectors a rare view of two artists navigating the intersection of human consciousness and digital systems.
