Mendes Wood DM inaugurated its first European space in 2017, opening a gallery in Brussels in partnership with longtime friend and collaborator Carolyn Drake Kandiyoti. Spread across three floors of a historic townhouse, the gallery is designed to host ambitious curatorial projects and in-depth monographic exhibitions. In 2022, the gallery expanded to New York’s Tribeca neighborhood—a natural progression of its growing presence in North America. The Tribeca space underscores the gallery’s commitment to fostering dialogue with the Global South and presenting impactful exhibitions to a broader public. That same year, Mendes Wood DM opened a location in Germantown, New York. Set within an eighteenth-century property in the Hudson River Valley, the space offers a contemplative setting for creation, reflection, and exchange. The program bridges regional and global perspectives, pairing leading contemporary artists with projects of historical and local significance. The gallery’s Paris space opened in 2023. Housed within the Hôtel de l’Escalopier at the northern entrance of the Place des Vosges in the Marais, the location occupies the first two floors of a seventeenth-century building in Paris’s oldest planned square. This milestone realizes a long-held vision of establishing a space for artistic exchange in a city that continues to inspire and shape the gallery’s ethos.
Mendes Wood DM
We are proud to lead public relations strategy for Mendes Wood DM in New York City. Founded in São Paulo in 2010 by Felipe Dmab, Matthew Wood, and Pedro Mendes, the gallery exhibits international and Brazilian artists in a context conducive to critical dialogue and the cross-pollination of ideas. Inspired by a belief that artistic practices broaden the scope of human agency and have the power to change the world, the gallery cultivates a program premised on conceptualism, political resistance, and intellectual rigor. Central to the program is a concern for regional difference and individuation while still fostering cosmopolitanism and collaboration. In addition to promoting the gallery’s New York program, we also support key initiatives in Europe—leveraging our expertise in the French media landscape to amplify select exhibitions at the gallery’s Paris location and coverage of major European art fairs.
