Eroded Horizon: Daniel Arsham

 Baró Galeria is pleased to present Eroded Horizon, Daniel Arsham’s fifth collaboration with the gallery and his second exhibition at Baró Mallorca. Presented as part of Art Palma Summer 2026, the exhibition brings together a selection of recent and previously unseen works that move between sculpture, drawing, and painting.

Set in Mallorca, a Mediterranean island whose stones bear the imprint of Roman, Moorish, and modern hands in equal measure, Eroded Horizon unfolds as a meditation on time’s slow work upon the body and the landscape, and the place where the two meet. Across the works on view, Arsham continues to probe the space between artifact and architecture, machine and myth.

Throughout Eroded Horizon, forms appear suspended between emergence and decay, permanence and erosion. Classical busts reveal technological interiors, hands become labyrinthine structures, and landscapes dissolve into cinematic terrains where the ancient and the imminent continually exchange places.

Across sculpture, drawing, and painting, Arsham works with marble, sand, bronze, graphite, charcoal, and acrylic to construct surfaces that appear simultaneously ancient and futuristic. A suite of charcoal drawings and two new acrylic paintings expand the exhibition’s recurring motifs through architectural interiors, monumental landscapes, and figures set against immense vine laden cliffs.

While Eroded Horizon continues Arsham’s longstanding investigation into fictional archaeology and temporal displacement, the exhibition further develops these ideas through landscape, travel, and the relationship between body and environment. In Arsham’s work, time does not move linearly. Marble cracks, machines surface from inside classical forms, and the future arrives looking remarkably like memory.
