Art forgeries, museum ghosts, celebrity relics, and the strange afterlives of objects, Alex Margo Arden treats history like a stage set: something constructed, rehearsed, performed, damaged, and endlessly rewritten. Arden is reshaping how we think about what survives, what circulates, and what gets rewritten.
For @kingkongmagazine 21, in conversation with her gallerist, @freddiempowell , they discuss contentious objects, fake Vermeers, Marilyn Monroe’s dress, Kim Kardashian, Punch & Judy violence, Croydon, Champagne, and the idea that every archive is really a performance in disguise.
