From 21 March to 30 August 2026, De Pont Museum will present ATLAS, the first solo exhibition in the Netherlands by British artist and filmmaker Steve McQueen. The exhibition will include the world premiere of his new work Atlas (2026) alongside three recent works.

Atlas

The exhibition centres on the work Atlas (2026), created especially for the exhibition, and De Pont Museum's recent acquisition, Sunshine State (2022). Together with the sound work Untitled (2025) and the photo series Bounty (2024), they form a powerful ensemble in which McQueen explores the boundaries of space, memory and imagination.

Art, film and reality intertwined

With ATLAS, De Pont Museum presents an artist at the height of his powers: sharp in observation and deeply human in resonance. The four works unfold as a journey from the personal to the cosmic, from the intimate to the collective, from physical presence to the immensity of the universe. The exhibition shows McQueen as both an image maker and a thinker: someone who constantly intertwines art, film and reality.

About Steve McQueen

Steve McQueen (London, 1969) is one of the most influential artists and filmmakers of his generation. His oeuvre – ranging from radical video works to Oscar-winning feature films – explores themes such as power, injustice, memory and physical vulnerability. With an exceptional sense of rhythm and form, McQueen shows how personal stories and historical structures intertwine.
