It’s only been a few months since Daniel Arsham’s crystalised Pokémon were installed in exhibition spaces across Tokyo, but the artist is now back in the city with a new collection of artworks on show at Perrotin Tokyo. For this exhibition, Arsham is debuting three new works in a combination of sculptures, still life paintings and movie posters, which reflect his passion for imagining and crafting future relics using present time objects.
Highlights include the 'Still Life with Eroded Bust of Diana the Huntress, Sneaker and Telephone' painting, where Arsham has arranged everyday objects like Nike sneakers and a cordless telephone alongside a deteriorated Renaissance sculpture. There will be a book signing event on the opening day of the exhibition (August 26), where the artist will be autographing copies of the Daniel Arsham Sketchbook from 3pm-5pm at the gallery.
