BRONZE GARDEN exhibition

BRONZE GARDEN

16.10.2021 — 19.12.2021

A monumental sculpture exhibition featuring Daniel Arsham's signature archaeological approach to contemporary art, exploring themes of time, decay, and transformation through bronze casting.

Daniel Arsham's "Bronze Garden" presents a collection of large-scale bronze sculptures that continue the artist's exploration of fictional archaeology. Known for his crystallized and eroded sculptures of contemporary objects, Arsham creates works that appear to be relics from a future past.

The exhibition features sculptural works that blur the line between preservation and decay, using bronze casting techniques to create objects that seem both ancient and futuristic. Arsham's practice involves taking familiar contemporary items and subjecting them to processes that make them appear as archaeological discoveries.

The bronze works in this exhibition represent a new phase in Arsham's artistic development, moving from his signature crystal and plaster works to explore the permanence and weight of bronze. Each piece invites contemplation about time, memory, and the objects that define our contemporary moment.
