The Facts

On May 27, 2026, Matthew Marks Gallery announced a solo exhibition of new works by Berlin-based artist Thomas Demand, running from September 1, 2026 to January 24, 2027. The show combines Demand's signature photographic methods with the visual language of theatre and opera. The exhibition opens September 1, 2026.

The Signal

The exhibition signals Demand's continued exploration of constructed imagery and the intersection of still and performance art. For collectors and curators, it offers a rare opportunity to see how photographic practice can adopt the narrative and spatial devices of stage design. The gallery's New York location will host the months-long presentation, providing sustained viewing of Demand's latest works.
