Daniel Arsham's First Latin American Exhibition at Baró Galeria Features Fossilized Future Relics

Daniel Arsham's first exhibition in Latin America is currently on display at Baró Galeria in São Paulo, highlighting the concept of future archaeology through reimagined modern items. Spanning 1,500sqm, the gallery features Crystal Car (2014), a 1976 Chevrolet Opala partially buried beneath eight tons of glass pellets. Nearby, Focus (2013) showcases a life-sized cast of Arsham crafted from broken glass and resin. Four gouache paintings illustrate architectural structures within marshy environments. The short film Future Relic 01 (2013) depicts a character uncovering contemporary artifacts in desert landscapes. Sculptures that mimic fossils include payphones and early laptops constructed from volcanic ash and gypsum cement. This exhibition, influenced by Arsham's work with Snarkitecture, follows Pablo Siquier's earlier show at the same venue.
