KÖNIG BERGSON is set to unveil MEMORY INDEX, a highly anticipated Daniel Arsham exhibition, in Munich this fall. Running from September 17th to December 21st, 2025, the show will transform the industrial Silos at Bergson Kunstkraftwerk into an immersive environment where memory, architecture, and time converge. The exhibition promises a unique dialogue between sculpture, painting, and drawing, capturing the attention of contemporary art enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Highlights of Munich exhibitions: a closer look
At the heart of MEMORY INDEX are Arsham’s signature Labyrinth Sculptures. These classical busts are embedded with intricate staircases, hidden corridors, and miniature figures, creating a visual exploration of memory and imagined spaces.
Surrounding the sculptures, a series of paintings and drawings depict rivers and fantastical terrains, balancing the raw industrial setting with moments of contemplation. These works evoke landscapes that feel at once familiar and otherworldly, adding layers of stillness and expansiveness to the exhibition.
Another key installation features objects and forms that appear excavated from a distant future, giving the Silos the aura of a temporal archaeological site. This approach underscores Arsham’s ongoing fascination with impermanence, transformation, and the passage of time. Visitors are encouraged to experience how perception shifts as they move through interconnected works, each resonating with the next.
The exhibition’s opening on September 7th will offer a rare opportunity to engage with Arsham’s vision before the public.
