Description & Specifications

Daniel Arsham seeks desired consumer goods and iconic images to create his conceptual objects and sculptures. The artist casts and finishes his work, mimicking the effects of erosion and sedimentation, creating monuments to our contemporary obsessions as if saved from Pompeii. This similar desire for excavation gives life to many of his installations, ranging from layered broken walls to geodetic caves and melted orange. From environmental collapse installations for top brands and today's museums to detailed set designs for classical dance, Arsham distorts elements of architecture to create iconic aesthetic experiences that attract the fractured attention of a contemporary audience. Presented as an introductory manual to Arsham's desirable world, the book will provide a comprehensive overview of his practice. Virgil Abloh discusses Arsham's contribution to a post-media artistic landscape, an idea developed by Hans Ulrich Obrist in conversation with the artist, tracing artistic historical intentions. Steven Matijcio will discuss the artist's works and collaborations, spanning from sets for Merce Cunningham's dance company to clothing and sneakers with iconic streetwear Ronnie Fieg and Adidas, and works with James Franco and Pharrell Williams and films with Mahershala Ali.
