Wandering, Daniel Arsham‘s fourth solo exhibition at Galerie Ron Mandos gives us a glimpse of a post-apocalyptic future where everything we know morphed into an archaeological relic. Arsham, one of the industry’s most in-demand contemporary artists, shows three brand new series of paintings, drawings, and sculptures in which the artist bends the dimensions of existing structures and time.
Arsham’s ‘mythical contemporary archaeology’ erodes familiar forms and changes the nature of architectural structures, classical figures, and even cars into archaeological objects. The artist deliberately selects iconic items that represent the late 20th century or millennial era when technological advancements rapidly accelerated, leading to the obsolescence of many inventions and the digitization of our world.
