"The Future is Always Now" is the ninth solo exhibition by New Yorkartist Daniel Arsham at Galerie Perrotin, presenting a new body ofapproximately twenty artworks around the theme of music.For this exhibition, Daniel Arsham features a series of new castsbased around the world of music presenting eroded sculptures, suchas guitars, turntables, a microphone, boomboxes, a walkman andkeyboards. These instruments, damaged by the passage of time, arelike an archeology of the present. These sculptures are casted inmineral materials related to geology such as rose quartz, glacial rock,obsidian, steel or volcanic ash, resembling fossilized items, found ina futuristic archeological dig. The solo show also includes gouacheson mylar representing disused items exposed to the effect of time, acassette and eroded CD. A stage with instruments also reconstituteselements of a performance and four casted tires on the walls evoke amusic tour as if a rock band deserted in the main room of the gallery.These eroded sculptures, future relics, generate a confusion in theaudience’s mind by challenging modern assumptions about lineartime and history
