Thomas Demand Exhibition at 303 Gallery and Merlin James at Sikkema Jenkins & Co in 2007

Thomas Demand presented new photographic work at 303 Gallery in New York in December 2007. Simultaneously, Merlin James exhibited paintings at Sikkema Jenkins & Co. Both shows were reviewed by artcritical.com on December 23, 2007. Demand's practice involves constructing detailed paper and cardboard models of architectural spaces and photographing them. The resulting large-scale C-prints explore the relationship between reality and representation. Merlin James's paintings often incorporate found materials and explore formal abstraction. The exhibitions represented significant presentations by both artists in New York galleries. The review was published online with an image file named rp_thomas-demand.jpg.
