DANIEL ARSHAM “The Future is Always Now”
Galerie Perrotin, Paris / June 12 – July 26, 2014
Press preview: Thursday June 12, 10am-12pm
“The Future is Always Now” is the ninth solo exhibition by New York artist Daniel Arsham at Galerie Perrotin, presenting a new body of approximately twenty artworks around the theme of music.
For this exhibition, Daniel Arsham features a series of new casts based around the world of music presenting eroded sculptures, such as guitars, turntables, a microphone, boomboxes, a walkman and keyboards. These instruments, damaged by the passage of time, are like an archeology of the present. These sculptures are casted in mineral materials related to geology such as rose quartz, glacial rock, obsidian, steel or volcanic ash, resembling fossilized items, found in a futuristic archeological dig.
The solo show also includes gouaches on mylar representing disused items exposed to the effect of time, a cassette and eroded CD. A stage with instruments also reconstitutes
elements of a performance and four casted tires on the walls evoke a music tour as if a rock band deserted in the main room of the gallery.
These eroded sculptures, future relics, generate a confusion in the audience’s mind by challenging modern assumptions about linear time and history.
