Thomas Demand now at the UCCA Edge, Shanghai

We are excited to announce that our much awaited exhibition dedicated to Thomas Demand is now open to the public at the UCCA Edge in Shanghai!

This career-wide survey of Demand’s sculptural and photographic work captures the uncanny intersections of history, images, and architectonic forms. Showing over 70 photographs, films, and wallpapers that span the arc of Demand’s career, this exhibition, his first comprehensive survey in China, focuses on four important areas of the artist’s work: large-scale photographs that depict seemingly banal but historically significant scenarios reconstructed based on news or other source images; the personal “Dailies” constructed from images taken with his phone; photographic studies of paper models by architects and a fashion designer in the “Model Studies” series; and the artist’s moving image work.
