Daniel Arsham: What Remains
What Remains features several new series from Arsham鈥檚 extensive practice, including sculpture, painting, drawing, and a new sound installation exploring themes of cultural memory and the passage of time.
Arsham transforms the gallery into a sonic installation with his latest sculptural series of copper-wrapped bonsai trees that double as functional stereo speakers, playing ambient music throughout the exhibition. This series pays homage to Japanese Zen Buddhist culture and Arsham鈥檚 previous sand zen garden installations, previously exhibited at the Lotte Museum (South Korea) and Mus茅e Guimet (France).
The exhibition also unveils new works from Arsham鈥檚 Labyrinth series, including Stairs in a Labyrinth, a sculpture composed of cast sand inspired by M.C. Escher and Ren茅 Magritte. The work appears as a portrait bust when viewed head-on but reveals a maze of architectural levels and stairwells in profile. Accompanying the sculpture are still-life paintings and charcoal preparatory drawings, inviting viewers to explore the interplay of layers and pathways that evoke archaeological excavation and the uncovering of time.
