Mendes Wood DM opened its first European location in 2017 with a gallery in Brussels, created in partnership with longtime collaborator Carolyn Drake Kandiyoti. Housed in a historic townhouse, the space spans three floors and supports ambitious curatorial and monographic exhibitions. In 2022, the gallery expanded to Tribeca, New York, deepening its North American presence and reinforcing its commitment to fostering dialogue with the Global South. That same year, it launched a location in Germantown, New York, set within an eighteenth-century property in the Hudson River Valley—a contemplative site for creation, reflection, and exchange. The program there bridges regional and global perspectives, pairing contemporary artists with projects of local and historical resonance. In 2023, the gallery inaugurated its Paris space in the Hôtel de l’Escalopier on the Place des Vosges, fulfilling a longstanding vision to establish a hub for artistic exchange in one of the gallery’s most enduring sources of inspiration.
Mendes Wood DM
We are proud to lead public relations strategy for Mendes Wood DM in New York. 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.
