Daniel Arsham: Welcome to the Future. Locust Projects, Miami

For the not-for-profit exhibition space Locust Projects in Miami's Design Destrict, artist Daniel Arsham has conceived a site-specific installation entitled Welcome to the Future. Daniel Arsham has transformed the exhibition space into an excavation site, digging a 25 foot wide trench in the gallery’s floor that holds thousands of calcified artifacts: photo cameras, TV sets, guitars, telephones, clocks, film spools, keyboards, tires, guns etc. Rendered in crystal, volcanic ash, and other minerals, the installation collapses linear narratives of past, present, and future.
