Daniel Arsham is a New York based artist that pushes the boundries between art, architecture and performance.
Architecture is a prevalent subject throughout his work, environments with eroded walls and stairs going nowhere, landscapes where nature overrides structures, and a general sense of playfulness within existing architecture.
Simple yet paradoxical gestures dominate his sculptural work: a facade that appears to billow in the wind, a figure wrapped up in the surface of a wall, a contemporary object cast in volcanic ash as if it was found on some future archeological site.
Arsham’s work has been showcased at many international exhibitions such as The Museum of Contemporary Art in Miami, The Athens Bienniale, Mills College Art Museum in Oakland, Galerie Perrotin, France and many other places.
