Jeff Wall – Time Stands Still

MAAT presents Jeff Wall. Time Stands Still. Photographs, 1980-2023, one of the most extensive exhibitions to date on the work of one of the biggest names on the international visual arts scene in recent decades. It is also the artist’s first solo exhibition in Portugal.

The exhibition brings together more than 60 works, and reflect the various themes that the artist has favoured throughout his career: scenes from everyday life, tensions and dramas inherent to modern and contemporary societies, such as loneliness, poverty, alienation, urban violence, social exclusion and abandonment. Situations and scenarios witnessed, imagined or inspired by art history or literary descriptions. They are images that have been previously thought out, planned and then executed, like the work of a painter or film director.
