Pippy Houldsworth Gallery announces a new installation by Daniel Arsham, comprising a single wall-intervention in which a solitary figure will appear hidden behind the gallery walls. Following recent collaborations with Pharrell Williams and James Franco, this project will coincide with Arsham’s participation in Post Pop: East Meets West, a comprehensive survey show celebrating the legacy of Pop Art at Saatchi Gallery in London.

Challenging notions of materiality, Arsham plans to distort the gallery’s architecture. Enveloped within white drapery, it is unclear whether the figure behind the wall has been entrapped in plaster, or whether he is seeking refuge from an external force. Coercing materials to behave in unexpected ways, the artist’s intervention seeks to transcend the boundaries of the white cube by physically altering its framework.

Discussing his architectural interventions, Arsham explains: ‘in all of these works, I alter something that everyone knows. I manipulate the surface of architecture or the material of it. Sometimes it’s a surface and sometimes it’s the depth of the wall. I’m always looking for various ways that I can transform these things. They stretch like fabric, sometimes appear to be eroding like a natural formation, creeping back into the architecture, and sometimes they appear to be melting. These different states of transition inspire my work. Oftentimes there are figures that interact with the architecture by wrapping themselves up in the walls or appear to be hiding behind the surface.”
