Thomas Dane Gallery

The gallery has developed its distinctive position through a strong commitment to moving image - both in the production and exhibition of works by Bruce Conner, John Gerrard, Steve McQueen, Amie Siegel, Paul Pfeiffer and Akram Zaatari. As well as the staging of complex shows relating to artists’ films from ‘A Certain Tendency in Representation’ curated by Francesco Manacorda to the first major presentation of Bruce Conner films in a UK gallery, the gallery has a history of introducing important mid-generation artists from abroad to London. These include Cecily Brown, Albert Oehlen, Glenn Ligon, Dana Schutz and Arturo Herrera, who now have an established base of museum and collector support in the UK. Alongside supporting mid-generation artists the gallery has nurtured and developed new talent such as Hurvin Anderson, Caragh Thuring, Walead Beshty, Kelley Walker, Ella Kruglyanskaya and Anthea Hamilton. The gallery is also committed to curatorial experimentation by invited curators. Curated shows include ‘Civil Restitutions’ (Oct. 2006, curated by Jeffrey Uslip and Simon Preston), ‘Very Abstract and Hyper Figurative’, (March 2007, curated by Jens Hoffman), ’Sunless - Journeys in Alta California since 1933’ (Sept. 2010, curated by Walead Beshty), ’The Medium of Contingency’, (Jan. 2011, curated by Miguel Abreu and Robin McKay), ‘Painting on the Möve’, (Oct. 2011) an exhibition of Chicago Imagists curated by Albert Oehlen, ‘Blind Architecture’ (November. 2015, curated by Douglas Fogle) and most recently ’Signals’ (June. 2018) in collaboration with kurimanzutto.
