Daniel Arsham

Fond of arts and mathematics,[1] Arsham attended the Design and Architecture High School and was awarded a full scholarship to The Cooper Union in New York City.

[citation needed] After graduating from school, Arsham moved back to Miami and started an exhibition space called "The House" with several artist friends.

[citation needed] This production company synthesizes all of Arsham's creative output over the previous decade, creating a visual setting in which his otherworldly and futuristic artwork might exist.

[8] In 2006, modern dance choreographer Merce Cunningham asked Arsham to design the set, lighting and costumes for his piece, "eyeSpace.

[citation needed] For these performances, Cunningham asked Arsham to recreate the style of set design originally explored by Merce and Robert Rauschenberg.

Bokaer and Arsham collaborated on "REPLICA,"[citation needed] a piece that incorporates built space, objects, and lighting in an exploration of memory loss, pattern recognition, and perceptual faculties.

[12] Arsham did the runway set design for the show, created ad campaigns, and released a 'Future Relics' capsule of iconic Dior collectibles.

The store was transformed into an "audio, visual and tactile experience" with a functioning New York payphone as the centerpiece, painted in adidas' signature blue.

Rather than make architecture, the interest of Snarkitecture lies in the exploration of existing materials within a space and how they might be manipulated to serve a new and imaginative purpose.

[17] Arsham/Snarkitecture were selected as one of three artists to contribute artwork to the new baseball stadium located on the site of the Orange Bowl near downtown Miami, scheduled to open in 2012.

[citation needed] Recently, Arsham and Alex Mustonen started a scholarship at Cooper Union called the Snarkitecture Commencement prize.

[20] In September 2022, Arsham and Rimowa released two 500 piece limited editions of pilots cases in silver or black containing eroded turntable sculptures.

In September 2021, jewelry brand Tiffany & Co. collaborated with Arsham on a limited edition of 49 sculptures and coordinating diamond and tsavorite encrusted knot bangles.

[24] This collaboration consists of eroded and encrusted charms depicting 6 pokémon such as pikachu and jigglypuff, as well as cobranded packaging including a Tiffany blue pokeball.

[26] In 2024, the Brooklyn regional director of the National Labor Relations Board has filed a complaint on behalf of a former Daniel Arsham studio employee that alleged that they were fired in retaliation for seeking to unionize.
