König Bergson is pleased to present Memory index, the gallery’s second solo exhibition by internationally acclaimed New York–based artist Daniel Arsham. Featuring recent works in sculpture, painting, and drawing, the exhibition creates an immersive environment where memory, architecture, and time converge.Set within the raw industrial space of the Silos, Memory index unfolds as a constellation of interconnected works, each resonating with the next and inviting visitors to explore shifting perceptions of place and temporality.
At the core of the exhibition are Arsham’s Labyrinth sculptures: classical busts embedded with intricate staircases, corridors, and miniature figures. These architectural portraits reflect on the structures of memory and the intimate spaces of introspection, where physical form and imagined worlds intersect.
Surrounding these sculptures are drawings and paintings of rivers, imagined terrains, and landscapes that feel both familiar and otherworldly. These compositions introduce a contemplative dimension, counterbalancing the industrial gravity of the Silos with moments of stillness and expansiveness.
Within the Silos, the works take on the aura of unearthed relics, as if excavated from a future archaeological site. This interplay between permanence and impermanence, object and presence, ruin and resonance speaks to Arsham’s enduring exploration of time, transformation, and memory.
Memory index invites viewers into a world where form and perception continuously shift, evoking spaces that feel simultaneously unearthed, imagined, and alive.
