Daniel Arsham’s work encompasses a wide array of disciplines. He is perhaps best known for his series, Future Relic, which incorporated film, sculpture, and multimedia design. His firm, Snarkitecture uses existing materials and manipulates them to “serve new and imaginative purpose”according to their website. They have contributed art and designs to the Orange Bowl, the Storefront for Art and Architecture, and several others. Recently, Snarkitecture sponsored a scholarship at Arsham’s alma mater, Cooper Union. Arsham’s pieces are often inspired by science fiction, climate change, and found objects. Daniel Arsham grew up in Miami, Florida, and was twelve years old when Hurricane Andrew destroyed his home. This event proved to be a continuing theme throughout Arsham’s later work, as he deals with climate change, the future, and natural disasters. He attended the Design and Architecture High School and eventually received a full scholarship to the prestigious Cooper Union in New York City. He was awarded the Gelman Trust Fellowship Award in 2003. After school, Arsham moved to Miami where he created the exhibition space, The House. Through The House Arsham connected with the greater art community including Emmanuel Perrotin, who signed him to Gallerie Perrotin in 2005. He founded Snarkitecture with fellow artist Alex Mustonen in 2007.
