SynopsisThe first comprehensive monograph on artist Daniel Arsham's genre-bending world. Daniel Arsham mines lusted-after consumer goods and iconic imagery to create his conceptual objects and sculptures. The artist then casts and refinishes his work to imitate the effects of erosion and subsidence, creating monuments to our present obsessions, as if the objects were rescued from Pompeii. That same impulse toward excavation animates many of his installations, which range from layered broken walls to geodefilled caverns to melting portals. From room-collapsing environmental installations for today's leading brands and museums to elaborate set design for classical dance, Arsham twists elements of architecture to create immersive aesthetic experiences that appeal to the divided attentions of a contemporary audience. Presented as an induction manual to Arsham's covetable world, the book will provide a complete overview of his practice. Virgil Abloh discusses Arsham's contribution to a post-media artistic landscape, a thread developed by Hans Ulrich Obrist in a conversation with the artist that traces art-historical precedents. Steven Matijcio will discuss the artist's projects and collaborations, which range from sets for Merce Cunningham's dance company to clothes and sneakers with streetwear icons Ronnie Fieg and Adidas to projects with James Franco and Pharrell Williams and films with Mahershala Ali., Designed to be an object within Arsham's covetable world, the book will provide a critical lens on the artist's practice. Pharrell Williams will discuss Arsham in the context of contemporary collaboration between genres, Hans Ulrich Obrist will relate his practice to art historical precedents, particularly in the realm of performance, Daniel Goods will describe his retro-futuristic aesthetics, Stephen Matijcio will delve into the public elements of the artist's practice, and Mahershala Ali will interview the artist to develop a sense of his creative process., Daniel Arsham's sculptures and installations, gathered together for the first time in this book, mine lusted-after consumer objects to create contemporary icons that assert the motivating passions of street culture within the realm of art. Sculpture, architecture, and consumer culture converge in Arsham's complete world. Rooted in a deep appreciation for objects such as sneakers, basketballs, and rare leather jackets, Arsham's works are rendered in crystal and concrete, endowing them with the import of classical sculpture. From room-collapsing environmental installations for today's leading brands and museums, to reinvigorating the tradition of contemporary artists collaborating with an era's leading dancers to create sets, Arsham twists elements of architecture to create immersive aesthetic experiences that appeal to the divided attentions of a contemporary audience.
