Where I Work: Daniel Arsham
We visit Daniel Arsham to see how and where he makes it all happen, including the work from his latest exhibition, 3018.
For this month’s Where I Work, we head to New York to virtually visit Miami-born artist and designer Daniel Arsham. His work notoriously bounces between art, architecture, and performance where it’s found a sweet spot that’s all his own. Early on, his work with iconic dancer/choreographer Merce Cunningham helped him make a name for himself before co-founding design practice Snarkitecture in 2007 with Alex Mustonen. The studio designs functional objects and large-scale, immersive installations that are monochromatic explorations of visual delight, and oftentimes highly Instagrammable. Arsham’s own work is a portfolio of surreal, sculptural objects, like his highly sought-after limited edition Future Relics that all sold out faster than most people could hit the ‘buy’ button. If you follow him on Instagram, chances are you’ve caught sight of what he’s been up to recently ? creating a new body of work for his just opened exhibition called 3018 at Perrotin New York. The exhibition features two recognizable cars from two iconic 80s movies ? Back to the Future (1981 Delorean) and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1961 Ferrari 250GT California) ? that are rendered in crystal and slightly “decayed” to reveal a mineral core made of volcanic ash, pyrite crystal, selenite, and quartz.
