David in the Studio
Presented by BLEACH*
Thu 31 Jul - Sun 10 Aug
David in the Studio
Experience a strikingly faithful replica of Michelangelo’s David – meticulously craved from the same Carrara marble as the original. By echoing both the material and scale of the Renaissance masterpiece, we blur the lines between homage and critique, questioning ideals of beauty, authorship and cultural permanence.
In this uncanny recreation, past and presence collide, compelling audiences to consider what it means to replicate genius in an age of mass reproduction and digital reinvention.
