For his latest installation ‘Wall Excavation’, artist Daniel Arsham carved out large holes into faux-concrete walls at the SCAD Museum of Art in Savannah, USA. We’ve previously featured Arsham’s works, which are also part of the site-specific exhibition titled ‘The Future Was Then’. Visitors can experience the artworks through the 300-foot long wall installation to engage with their surroundings in a new context. Additionally, the repetitions of carvings create a human-like silhouette, illustrating Arsham’s motivation to explore “mankind’s place in history” with the artwork. The exhibition runs until July 24, 2016.
