Daniel Arsham — Glacial Rock Television
Daniel Arsham

Glacial Rock Television

2014

A television set rendered in crumbling, excavated form, Glacial Rock Television by Daniel Arsham transforms a relic of modern culture into an archaeological artifact of the future. Constructed from glacial rock, crushed marble, shattered glass, and hydrostone, the work evokes a sense of erosion and fossilized memory, as though the object has been unearthed from centuries of geological sediment. Arsham's signature aesthetic blurs the boundaries between past and future, inviting viewers to contemplate the fragility and impermanence of contemporary objects.
