Photo: Courtesy of Eddie Borgo3/11I took a trip to the Galerie Perrotin and was walked through Daniel Arsham’s work on view. He used interesting geological materials such as volcanic ash and selenite crystals to create sculptures reminiscent of ancient artifacts.
Photo: Courtesy of Eddie Borgo4/11I also headed to the White Cube gallery, where artist Liu Wei had just unveiled his new solo exhibition, “Silver,” where he uses mirrors to play with our notions of perception.
