Daniel Arsham in London

Contemporary Artist

Daniel Arsham makes installations and objects that conjure a kind of mythical contemporary archeology.

In a practice that spans film, painting, sculpture, and installation, the artist employs elements of architecture and performance that distort recognizable forms into corroded, calcified, or otherwise glitched-out artifacts. In the case of his exhibition Connecting Time at Moco Museum Amsterdam, Daniel Arsham manipulated gallery spaces to achieve these very effects.

Daniel Arsham got propelled into the world of jet-set when legendary American dance choreographer Merce Cunningham invited him to design the stage for the piece titled eyeSpace at the Miami Performing Arts Center in 2004. Cunningham had previously collaborated with Rauschenberg, Frank Stella and Andy Warhol. The art of Daniel Arsham has a monochrome palette that alludes to a disembodied future, which has resonated with art lovers internationally.

In addition to his fine art practice, Arsham has collaborated with a number of brands, including Adidas, Dior, and Porsche. Now, he continues to evolve with the changing tides in art by diving into the New FuTure with NFTs. Arsham has collaborated frequently with Barcelona-based creative studio Six N. Five to create immaculate NFTs.

    In addition to the highly informative and extensive collection of major figures in modern pop art, I was impressed by the pristine interior. The colourful displays of works by famous artists provided great inspiration whilst helping me relax.

    Fantastic modern art museum. Lots of pop art and great exhibits and installations from some well known artists. Lots of bold colours, a feast for the eyes. Great ticket price too. Not too crowded, always an important factor when visiting galleries / art museums. Best museum I’ve been to in a while.

    I loved it. Exciting, memorable, inspiring. Now we came across it again in London. ❤️ There are artists whose work I would’ve never discovered otherwise — like Robbie Williams’ creations beyond music… amazing! Love it. I truly hope more and more big cities will have something like this. The world becomes a better place with spaces like these 🤞 I wholeheartedly recommend it! For thinkers. For wanderers. For parents with kids, or just a visit with a friend. Enjoy the ride — and pass it on.
