Daniel Arsham's "Future Relic 05: Telephone" Sculpture Being Released Tomorrow!

New York-based artist Daniel Arsham has been straddling the lines between conceptual art, commercial design, and science-fiction story with his sculptural creations for a while, known in part for his "Future Relic" series that depict contemporary objects "cast in volcanic ash as if it was found on some future archeological site." Partnering once again with auction giant eBay, Arsham is preparing to release the fifth piece in the line: "Telephone."

The above-pictured teaser for the piece clearly shows a toll-free phone number — 1-800-853-9831 — which, when called, recounts a fable… a tale that supposedly has something to do with this newest work. But it seems the fable itself is not the clue, but rather the means of getting it… The below-pictured packaging image for "Future Relic 05" is difficult to make out but, if you look closely, you can see the title line reads "Telephone."

Additionally, it lists the size as 9" × 8.375" × 4.75" with a limitation of 500 numbered copies. But to properly see what this piece looks like we will have to wait until tomorrow (June 24th, 2016) at 9am Pacific time when they will be made available here for an undisclosed sum. Though it is best to hurry, as "Future Relic 04" — which had the same sales method and edition size — sold out in roughly 20 minutes.
