DANIEL ARSHAM: MEMORY INDEX

KÖNIG GALERIE is pleased to present Memory index, Daniel Arsham’s second solo exhibition at the gallery.

September 17 – December 21, 2025

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.

Invites viewers into a world where form and perception continuously shift, evoking spaces that feel simultaneously unearthed, imagined, and alive.
