MARC STRAUS is pleased to announce an exhibition of new works by Danish photographer Thomas Bangsted. This will be the artist’s first solo show in the United States.
This exhibition is comprised of mostly large scale photographs aggregated from numerous exposures over a period of time up to several years. A bird perched on a pole, a workman laying on the Church floor – were there but once.

The nearest association and influence is likely Jeff Wall but Wall oftentimes sets the scene, builds the room, digs a gravesite. For Bangsted nothing is altered. Every place undergoes its own natural change over time. We tend to miss that unless perhaps we come back after a long interval. Here he takes snippets from many moments and thus extends the conventional limits of photography. It is as if these were paintings.
