Following behind a pop-up store in partnership with Selfridges last month, Carpenters Workshop Gallery has now opened an exhibition entitled “Dark Fantasy” in Los Angeles’ UTA Artist Space The installation is based around the theme of “Archeofuturism” and features works from Virgil Abloh, Rick Owens, Studio Drift and more.
Pieces are suggested to juxtapose design principles from the past versus those of the future in order to question the “constraints of reality and what it indicates to dream,” and covers classifications such as sophisticated strategies, standard master craft and new innovation. Abloh’s sinking bronze Alaska Bench from his ” Acqua Alta” series illustrates the concept that humans are turning into one with nature. On the other hand, Owens contributes a 5 million-year-old wood chair to strengthen the works that highlight modern archaeology.
